“This is always a very popular day so we are thrilled to be able to hold it again this year. The venue, Maumbury Rings, is an ideal location for it too – as an ancient Roman Amphitheatre (and previously a Neolithic Henge) it lends itself perfectly to public events such as this. Entrance is free and all are welcome – we are dementia friendly too this year so this really is a family friendly, totally inclusive event!”
Emma Scott – Community Development Officer, Dorchester Town Council.
