There is no better place than Dorset in May!

The birds sing duets in the warm sun; the trees shake their brilliant new leaves in the gentle breezes and it’s festival season!

Dorset Art Weeks starts in under 2 weeks (24th May – 8th June), so no doubt artists and makers all over the County are putting the finishing touches to paintings, pots, jewellery, furniture, and a hundred other things in preparation for one of the best-known, open studios events in the country.

Open Studios and Art Trail events across the UK have become increasingly popular both with participants and their visitors as a relaxing, non-threatening way to view and buy art and craftwork directly from the makers; and Dorset is no different.

One of the great things about Dorset Art Weeks is that it combines the pleasures to be had from meeting truly creative and original people, with exploring little known, remote parts of Dorset, and seeing inside some very beautiful homes and gardens.

Of course, this is where Hidden Dorset comes into its own because if you’re visiting the back-of-beyond, it can be handy to know if there is a café or pub in the area. On the other hand, if you find a marvellous-maker-of-memorable-morsels in Morcombelake, or even Yetminster, you can rush back home and nominate them!

Follow this link, Share, to nominate Hidden Dorset gems.

Start searching the site through Discover, where you’ll find other people’s nominations. From here you can also find the maps in Explorer.

The large purple button marked Event Calendar is where you’ll find…the Events!

Have fun
