Sunday 18th July, 5.00pm: Special Circuit Service - Tolpuddle Festival As part of the Tolpuddle Festival weekend, we were delighted to offer a special Circuit Service, where we were joined by the President (Revd Sonia Hicks) and Vice President (Mrs Barbara Easton) of the Methodist Conference (2021-22). The music, prayers and message reflected both on the Tolpuddle story and the President’s theme for the year ahead. The Service was live-streamed, and the recording of that live stream is now available on the United Church YouTube page.

Fridays, 9.00am – 12.00 noon: Dorchester Country Market Dorchester Country Market is re-opening! With the Corn Exchange still closed for renovation, the market will now take place every Friday morning from 9am until 12noon in the Main Hall at The United Church – please enter via the Charles Street Entrance at the rear of the building, opposite the Library. Although its been a long wait, we are delighted to be hosting the Country Market: as their Facebook page said when the new location was first agreed, it was the location for the Market in the past, is perfectly located, and is big enough to allow for Covid safe trading. Do come along for home made baked goods, preserves, plants and a huge range of crafts – all sold by the makers and producers at our local market.
