Booking is now open for Try This … Dorchester 2016 which runs from 2-10 July.
Now in its 4th year this unique local festival goes from strength to strength, offering residents the opportunity to try something new or to learn more about a subject that interests them. Here are some of the heart-warming comments we received about last year’s event:
“The Try This event is a brilliant idea – long may it continue. The enthusiasm and sense of achievement that was apparent at yesterday’s session was palpable. Many thanks to all concerned.”
“I just think it is a brilliant idea and well put together with a highly efficient, and easy to use, website. There was such a wide range of activities that there has to have been something there for everybody.”
“It’s a wonderful festival. Having been a leader and a session participant I thought every aspect was very well organised and the festival is a credit to those who run it and a real asset to Dorchester.”
For 2016 we have put together an even more varied programme with 35 different sessions that are guaranteed to have something that will appeal to the young and the not so young. There are some old favourites from last year: Bell Ringing for Beginners, Nordic Walking, Cryptic Crosswords, Tai Chi for Beginners and Reading Old Handwriting and there are some intriguing new sessions including: Walking Football, Hypnobirthing, Crowdfunding, Top 10 Apps for 2016 and last but not least Singing with a Rubbish band!!
The sessions are led by local people who have volunteered their time, skills and knowledge. All the sessions are FREE but booking is essential as only a finite number of places are available for each session. Booking commenced 1 June. Printed programmes will be available at many locations around the town including the Tourist Information Centre, the Library and the Plaza cinema.
