Beautiful Borough Gardens, picnic, sunshine but whatever happened to the Dalston Town Band concert scheduled for 2.30pm, 5th August?
We’re sorry to hear that they were not there Janice. We’re only as good as the information provided to us by Dorchester Town Council. We suggest contacting them if you would like more information on their no show.
What is the world festival on sat 11th at dorchester borough gardens about, does it cost anything to get in.
Is it a music event or what.
Please could you get back to me and let me know.
Thanks
Donna
