Events in Dorset

Pick a town to see what's on — from quiz nights to kids' workshops, there's always something happening round the corner.

Dorset sits snugly between the Atlantic and the South Coast, with a calendar that somehow manages to fit in everything from seaside walks to village fairs. Wimborne Minster and Millhams keep things ticking over with market stalls and quiz nights, while East Howe and Marnhull pop up with their own little gatherings.

Salterns Road adds its bit of local colour without needing a single spotlight, proving that good times don't always need a big venue. Near Here tracks down the gigs, talks, and theatre shows so you can spend your Sunday evening planning rather than scrolling.

Handy if you already know the place and don't fancy alphabet aerobics.
