Dorset Day – 1st May
Where are you going on May Day? We’re jolly well off to Dorset Day at Clayesmore School, Iwerne Minster, Nr Blandford.
When someone mentioned Maypole dancing, dog show and pig racing we realised we couldn’t resist!
For once, we’re not serving teas but are still displaying our gorgeous vintage china, our old fashioned props, vintage gift cards and prints from our vintage gazebo and we’ll be chatting to people about traditions, tea and cake! If you want to pre-book a picnic from us – we’ll bring you one along. Get in touch with us here
The day is set to be a really great day out – last year 2500 people came along!
The idea of the day is to celebrate the county of Dorset, its diversity, culture and heritage. Dorset Day is open to members of the public as well as the school community.
Admission costs are: Adults £2, Children £1 Family £5
