Holiday Hangout 2024

Back by popular demand, the Holiday Hangout will be taking place on the Great Field in Poundbury on Wednesday 7 August from 11am-4pm. Aimed at young people aged 9-14 years, this free event includes a huge range of fun activities to take part in including inflatables, craft and rocket building, football coaching, clay modelling, crazy golf and so much more! Children can bring a picnic or purchase a delicious burger or sausage and salad with a piece of fruit for just £4. Children who are eligible for free school meals and who have a HAF passcode will receive their BBQ lunch for free.

This is a drop off event (just head to the Pavilion in the Park café) so once adults have brought their children for registration, they are free to spend the day how they wish!

For more information and links to booking, visit the Summer in Dorset listings on the Help and Kindness website or email e.scott@dorchester-tc.gov.uk. Alongside this event people will also be able to see the huge range of activities taking place across Dorset as part of the Holiday Activity and Food Programme.

The Holiday Hangout is being hosted by Dorchester Town Council and the Pavilion in the Park café who are grateful to have received funding from Dorset Council, Waitrose, The Talk About Trust, and the Poundbury Community Trust.
