A MUSICAL tradition enjoyed by many in Dorchester is to return.

Carols in the Gardens comes back to Dorchester’s Borough Gardens on Thursday, December 21 from 6.30pm.

Nothing will get you in the mood for Christmas quite like an evening of Christmas classics.

There will be accompaniments from Durnovaria Silver Band and Encore Singers.

This year, everyone is encouraged to have a go at making their own lantern from recycled materials for a beautiful, festive light display.

Find out how to make your own lantern at home at www.discoverdorchester.co.uk/carols-in-the-gardens-2023

Carols in the Gardens is a free event but there will be a collection for the Mayor's Charities (Dorchester Poverty Action Group & Mosaic) so anyone who would like to donate should bring cash.
