A Folk Song Walk

1 July 2025 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Join local folk singer Alastair Braidwood for walks in the countryside close to Dorchester, accompanied by traditional folk songs from Dorset and further afield. Explore a beautiful part of the county, and hear songs relating to nature and rural ways from years before. Walks are about 3 miles and take roughly 2 hours. Bring your own water bottle, stout walking boots, and headgear if hot. Walkers are responsible for their own surefootedness. Well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome, so long as they don’t ‘sing along’! In association with Dorset Rural Music School.
