| Why
Dorchester ? |
| Conferences, meetings, and events will appreciate this West Dorset county town for its 18th century buildings and streetscapes, but local history embraces the Stone Age (the origins of the amazing nearby Maiden Castle hillfort), through to the Roman period (e.g. Maumbury Rings amphitheatre; Roman Town House – with mosaics), and traces of Saxon royalty. Attractions include the Old Crown Court, several museums (e.g. County Museum, Military Museum, Dinosaur Museum, and more), and various nearby historic locations (including Athelhampton House, Thomas Hardy’s cottage at Bockhampton, the impressive Cerne Abbas Giant on the hillside, and the Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Museum). Venues include heritage style hotels in the town, country house properties close by, smaller characterful hotels, and also culture/heritage settings.
Proximity to the Poundbury architectural vision/project of the Prince of Wales, the Dorset countryside (outdoor pursuits and nature-spotting), the Jurassic fossil coast, ‘Thomas Hardy Country’, and Chesil beach (with swannery at Abbotsbury), are further plus points. Conference delegates can reach Dorchester easily using the A30/A35, by train, and through flights into Bournemouth airport.
In conclusion: very much a heritage meetings destination, Dorchester appeals for its sheer range of town, country, and nearby coastal pursuits coupled with the strong sense of Dorset character and welcome.
