A POPULAR village pub just outside Dorchester is on the market.

Operators of the Blue Vinney on the Moor in Puddletown have announced the lease on the popular venue is up for sale, but they will keep running until a buyer is found.

A statement on social media says: "We have all the details together now for the sale of the lease on The Blue Vinny.

"We will try and sell it via social media during February and if not it will go to a pub selling company.

"We will stay open until we find a buyer."
