A comedy play full of misunderstandings, disguises, dodgy accents, unexpected visitors, and escalating chaos. Recently made redundant, Ken hits on his perfect new career that he’s thought through in every detail as he puts his latest bet on the favourite at Kempton. Just how difficult can it be sitting at your own dining table.

Our annual Summertime Fayre is a much-loved event which brings together a wide range of stalls, entertainment, and activities, all while helping us raise vital unrestricted funds to support local older people, the event is more than just a lively day of entertainment — its plays a crucial role in raising awareness and vital funds for the charity.

It was such good fun last year, that we’re doing it again! Yes, for the second year running we have organised a community cycle ride from Poundbury Great Field to Dorchester centre and back on Sunday 12th July. The event is free to take part. Its purpose is to have a bit of fun, provide a safe environment for adults and children to experience cycling on the roads in Dorchester and also highlight the need to better cycling infrastructure in the County Town.

This exhibition commemorates the vicious attack on the Chapel built by some of the men later known as the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Discover the history of anti-Methodist riots and the context in which the labourers worked and worshipped 16 years before they became famous. All welcome – no charge for entry, all donations gratefully received. Further details on the TOCT web and Facebook Page.
