Dorchester Arts has raised more than 85 per cent of its fundraising target, and there's just five days left to raise the rest.

The organisation is hoping to raise £20,000 to help 'bridge the gap' in its income following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the Corn Exchange - where it is based - being closed for works.

It has a number of exciting plans coming up, which it has received funding for, but it needs the public's help to ensure a bright future for the arts in Dorchester.

The Crowdfunder campaign has so far raised an amazing £17,300 and has until April 21 to raise £20,000.
