Late Christmas shopping in Dorchester in December

Businesses participating in the scheme

A Welcome for Heroes

All participating shops and businesses in Dorchester will display the 'Heroes Welcome' sticker (available FREE on request from DTC and DBID) showing appreciation and support of our armed forces at home and overseas. The 'Heroes Welcome in Dorchester' sign alerts service personnel and their direct dependants that there are either discounts, special offers or at the very least a special and warm welcome awaiting them in these stores and businesses - It's up to the individual business to decide what is on offer, but needless to say our heroes will be glad that they dropped by!

A list of all the participating shops and businesses will appear on this page and on posters that are being displayed at a number of local barracks and garrisons in the area. It is hoped that the local press will also participate and give some coverage of the scheme.
