Rambling with Dorset Poetry and Song

Immerse yourself in the literature and music of Dorset. Join members of the William Barnes Society and composer/ musician John Blackmore for this gentle ramble around Cerne Abbas and its immediate surroundings. We will stop at evocative spots to reflect with a relevant poem or listen to / sing a folk song which will take you back into olde Dorset. Ends with afternoon tea at St Mary’s Church.

Meet at St Mary's Church. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear walking shoes. Well behaved dogs welcome.
