Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival

Foodies must not miss this event! You’ll find a huge range of cheeses, as well as other food producers, arts and crafts, live music, street food, children’s entertainment and a beer garden. It’s easy to come home with full bellies and a bag of goodies!

We do not recommend you bring dogs to this event as they are not permitted inside any of the food tents.

Tickets can be bought online in advance or on the gate, provided they do not sell out beforehand.
