Usually, by this time of year, Dorchester would be buzzing with ideas and news about next year’s Festival programme. However, after much discussion, we have sadly deccided to postpone until 2022.

The Festival cannot be financially viable with social distancing and we will not know for some time yet (and too late to ramp up the publicity) whether measures will still be in place next May.

In the meantime the Abbey will be running smaller fundraising events to bridge the financial gap (like the recent October Fun Run!) which I encourage you all to support.

Please do keep looking for events that you’d like to see included in 2022 and let me know your ideas
