About Us
Keep in touch – read the Voice!
Dorchester is one of the most creative, switched on, environmentally-aware towns in England. The town offers a wide choice of alternative therapists, and independent retailers, including health food stores and gourmet shops selling fresh local produce – much of it organic. Dorchester also has a vibrant arts scene, both in the town itself and the surrounding villages – and some great local pubs and restaurants. So if you want to know what bands are playing and like to live a greener, healthier lifestyle, look no further.
