Dorchester Christmas Cracker is back with all-day event
Cracker Day in Dorchester will feature festive stalls, craft fairs and family entertainment
Over the past 25 years the Christmas Cracker event in Dorchester has been held on a Thursday evening and every year it has traditionally rained.
This year the team organising the event - which includes representatives from Dorchester Chamber for Business, Dorchester BID and the retail community - have decided to expand the event and hold an all day celebration of Christmas.
The Cracker Day will be held on Sunday 12th December from 11am to 4pm and include festive stalls in High West Street and two Craft Fairs, one in Shire Hall and the second in the Corn Exchange.
A spokesperson for the team said: “With a year off due to Covid we decided it was an opportunity to try something different. We are expecting plenty of festive stalls, entertainment and a visit from Santa”.
High West Street will be closed from Top of Town roundabout to the junction with Church Street.
There are opportunities for local businesses to have a street pitch on High West Street or a table in the craft fair in the Corn Exchange.
