Lottery Bid - public drop-in session

(not a TTB event)

Bridport Town Hall , Thursday 24 May, 2-7pm

Bridport and Dorchester communities are to be asked how a lottery grant could help them tackle climate change. Do you have ideas for how the community could deal with the potential impact of climate change? Two public drop-in sessions are being held, in Dorchester and Bridport, where community groups and residents will have a chance to help shape a lottery-funded project. Drop in any time with your ideas on how to spend party of a £10 million fund for communities living sustainably.

Bridport and Dorchester together have reached the second stage of the bid, and TTB has contributed ideas to two sections, on energy reduction and local food.

  3. The Big Picnic - see below.

Bridport's Big Picnic

Asker Meadow - Festival marquee if wet (or too sunny!)
 Sunday 17 June, from 12 noon

To round off the amazing Bridport Food Festival week and the fantastic show day on this site, come and re-visit Asker Meadow and join us for Bridport's Big Picnic.

There will be no food to purchase - you will have had plenty of opportunity the previous day at the Festival itself. We are asking you to bring your own picnic, stuffed full with wonderful local food and drink plus whatever else you need to be comfortable in the field.

It will be a ZERO WASTE event - ie please take your waste away for re-use, recycling or disposal. As previous occasions have shown, you are brilliant at this. This year we have the use of the Food Festival's marquee, so you can enjoy shade or shelter, whichever is necessary.

We are planning displays, games and a few surprises to enhance the day. See you there.
