Dorchester Christmas Cracker cancelled
The annual Christmas event's been called off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Event organisers say cancelling this years Dorchester Christmas Cracker is the 'right and safe thing to do' in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
It's been running for the past 26 and attracts over 3,000 people to the town for an evening of late night shopping and stalls.
But, it will be returning next year.
Steve Bulley - Chair Christmas Cracker Committee said:
“The Dorchester Cracker event will return in 2021 and we have a provisional date Sunday 12 December.
"We intend to make this an all-day event with more stalls and entertainment for the whole family. We anticipate closing High East/West Street to create a safe area for vendors to have stalls.”
The event is organised by volunteers from the Dorchester Chamber for Business, The Dorchester BiD, Dorchester Town Council and representatives from community groups.
