Unique stays in Blandford Forum

Blandford Forum is a charming market town in Dorset that has a rich history dating back to the 9th century. The town was destroyed by a fire in 1731, but it was rebuilt in Georgian style and retains many of its original features. Visitors can explore the town's fascinating past at the Blandford Museum, which showcases artefacts from Roman times to the present day.

Throughout the year, Blandford Forum hosts a range of events that are popular with tourists and locals alike. One of the highlights is the annual Georgian Fayre, which celebrates the town's heritage with traditional crafts, music and dance. Other events include live music performances, food festivals and Christmas markets.

Blandford Forum has plenty of attractions for visitors to enjoy. These include St Peter and St Paul's Church, which boasts stunning stained-glass windows and an impressive organ; Hall & Woodhouse Brewery, where visitors can learn about brewing techniques and sample some local beers; and Kingston Lacy House & Gardens, a magnificent country house that dates back to the 17th century. With its fascinating history, vibrant events calendar and diverse attractions, Blandford Forum is well worth a visit for anyone exploring Dorset.
