What's on in Throop

Dorset, England

Throop is a quiet corner of Dorset where the pace slows down just enough to notice the rain stopping or start again. Without any big venues on our list yet, we rely on the village hall and local pubs to host whatever gatherings happen this week. It feels like a proper community hub even when the only thing listed is a casual get-together near the church. We keep an eye on what's cooking so you don't have to drive all the way to Weymouth just for a pint.

Nia Nicholls plus support from Dixie Dix

Awarded Best Solo Artist and Best Songwriter by the OMA’s in Dorset, Nia’s got a reputation that’s as strong as her voice. Her hit track “Exes” was named Track of 2023 by BBC Introducing, and she’s been rockin’ the airwaves on BBC Kent and BBC Wales.This lady’s got Nashville in her blood, having recorded most of her songs in Music City, but she’s been making waves all over the map! In 2024, she became the first British artist ever invited to perform at the In A Jam Down By The River festival in Texas! ????And if that’s not enough to get you excited, country star Dylan Scott has her on his radar, calling her “one to watch,” while legendary American songwriter Dean Friedman has had her open for him on his UK tours the past two years.

The Open Link

The Link (our entrance and welcome area) is open for hot drinks and a friendly chat on Monday and Thursday mornings during term time. Sometimes there are also homemade cakes on offer, or some yummy biscuits. Whether you come for a morning coffee with friends, to get to know new people, or just to sit and relax, you are very welcome. The Open Link is modern, bright and airy, a safe and friendly place, where you can make ’s always someone around to offer a listening ear or prayer, if you need some confidential support. Or you can use the church for a quiet moment of prayer and reflection, or to sit and ponder, or just to get a bit of peace. Pop in to grab a coffee when you are passing, or relax awhile and take your time. There’s always a warm welcome and some good company.
