Athelhampton House events manager Michela Giudici said: “We’re delighted to host the Dorset Food & Drink Christmas Fair again, after having to cancel in 2020 because of the pandemic.

The Christmas market usually attracts quite a crowd, so we are getting ready for a busy weekend showcasing the best of Dorset. We’re running a slightly smaller event this year to continue to keep visitors, staff, and volunteers safe. But it will still have the same festive sparkle, delicious food, and unique shopping opportunities!”

You can find a full list of stallholders on the events page of the Dorset Food & Drink website.

DF&D Coordinator Caz Richards said: “We’re bringing together a fantastic collective of makers & food producers with the buzz of a traditional market. Stalls include English wines, cheese, spirits, homewares, honey, bakery, beer, keto snacks, fudge, nuts, cider, confectionery, artisan crafts, hampers, preserves, chutney, coffee, traditional toys, olives, fresh meat, hot food, and a festive bar!

Caz continues, “The icing on the Christmas cake is that when you shop for gifts at events like this, you get to MEET the amazing people who make, bake, brew, farm, grow, cook, milk, preserve, pickle and serve you with all this festive local loveliness!”

Event Details

Broadcast LIVE from The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.

Into the romantic world of an idealistic painter Cavaradossi and his sensuous lover Tosca comes the malevolence of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police, with fatal results.

Elena Stikina, Bryan Hymel and Alexey Markov bring to life one of the best loved operas in The Royal Opera repertory: Puccini’s Tosca.

From the demonic chords with which it famously begins to the violent twist of the opera’s shock ending, the tension never lets up for a moment. Love and evil come – thrillingly – face to face in Jonathan Kent’s intense production.

Company The Royal Opera
Music Giacomo Puccini
Libretto Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica
Director Jonathan Kent
Designer Paul Brown
Lighting designer Mark Henderson
Language: Sung in Italian with English subtitles

21dec7:30 pmBridport Youth Performers at the Electric Palace: Seussical The MusicalA fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza!

Event Details

Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza!

Bringing to life all of our favourite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton The Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination-

The colourful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.”

Horton faces a double challenge–not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird.

Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.

Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Bridport Young Performers
