Dorset Winter Cheer Food Fair

Run by Dorset Food & Drink, this Food Fair is sure to be a cracker! With most of the stalls undercover, this event will be enjoyable come rain or shine.

Shopping small is BIG for local businesses, where you can discover unique gifts. So whether it’s local cheese, funky craft ales, seasonal treats, seasonings, chocolate, wine, or something made by talented artisans – there are plenty of stocking fillers, so you can shop small or large depending on your budget.

Plus, it’s a great way to support your local producers and makers – many with multi award winning products! Keep it local, and get to know the people who make, bake, brew, cook, farm, fish, sew, grow, craft, and create lovely things.

Festive tipples include wine, cider, beer, spirits, cocktails, ginger-based cordials, and liqueurs. Hot food, cheese, game, locally reared fresh meat, coffee, tableware, honey, handmade soaps, candles, preserves and chutney. Spicy sauces, pies, biscuits, mince pies, artisan jewellery, glass art, local photography, art cards, paintings, charcuterie, cakes, Christmas puds, chef knife sets, seaweed, artisan bread, traditional Dorset bakes, tea, oils and spices, and festive coffee bars.

The main part of the Christmas Fair is held inside a festive marquee, which may pose some challenges for mobility scooters and wheelchairs as its a carpeted surface covering the grass. This will be a busy environment that may not be suitable for dogs.

Tickets can be purchase online around 4 weeks in advance of the event.
