The popular Dorset Food & Drink Christmas Fair returns in December bringing a range of festive gifts and treats.

Athelhampton House will host more than 45 stalls around the home and gardens on December 4 and 5, showcasing locally-made products, food, drinks, crafts and more.

There will also be some live music to give the fair a festive feel.

This can also be done for events on our What's On page and businesses, groups and organisations on our Local Listings page , also by using the 'Nub It' button.
