Join us in the grounds of Weldmar’s Inpatient Unit on Herringstone Road, Dorchester on Saturday 13th September, 11am-4pm for an extravaganza of traditional stalls, a steam and vintage vehicle display, live music, games, competitions, animal encounters, entertainment, great food, and lots and lots of family fun!

If you’d like to keep up-to-date with what’s going on, information about our shuttle bus service, and other helpful information about the day – please join our event on Facebook where we will regularly be posting updates.

“The Summer Fete is one of the highlights of our calendar! It’s so lovely to host something for the community who are so supportive of Weldmar, and glance around on the day to see everyone’s smiling faces as they enjoy all of the entertainment with staff from across the charity joining in with sponsors and volunteers to help make the day run smoothly. And of course, to raise lots of money so we can continue to provide vital care to adults with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones across Dorset.”
