18th Century Street Fair
Every 2 years the present villagers recreate their historic country fair to celebrate the rebuilding of the present village over 225 years ago. The fair attracts thousands of visitors and has become one of Dorset's key Summer events. The main street is closed to traffic, and residents and stall holders dress in 18th century costume. The day includes traditional music and dancing, local crafts people, stalls & demonstrations, a Dorset farmers' market, children's entertainment, Morris dancing, local food and ale and more.
