Dorchester Christmas Cracker 2024

On a dry December 15th Dorchester town centre was packed with people who had come to see the annual Christmas Cracker event, with around 150 stallholders lining the high street and many more in the Corn Exchange. KeeP 106 provided the sound system for entertainment outside St Peter’s Church and at the same time presented a live broadcast for those who couldn’t come to the event.

Roving reporter Rob Mott spoke to some of the folk who were attending the event and you can hear the interviews below. Select an item from the list below, or just click the ‘Play’ button for a continuous playback…

Making a welcome return to the Christmas Cracker were the ever popular Dorchester Family Church Choir and the Rock Choir. You can listen to their performances here. The Rock Choir recording is a combination of both sets performed on the day.
