What's on in St. John's

Dorset, England

St. John's in Dorset is a quiet corner of the country where the tea tastes better and the rain knows how to wait for an umbrella. With no big venues listed right now, you might just find yourself walking past a local shop window or stopping for a chat with a neighbour who happens to know about tomorrow's market stall. It's not about missing out on a gig when there isn't one; it's about noticing the little things that make this place tick. Keep an eye on your inbox, because word travels fast in a town like this, and by the time you've finished your morning brew, someone will have posted where the next gathering is happening.
