T1279323748The sights, sounds - even smells of Africa come to Dorset for six days of great events this May as the World Comes to Town for Dorchester Festival. Pulsating rhythms, spectacular dancers and hundreds of children in African-inspired costumes come together for a free weekend of music, dance and celebration over the end of May bank holiday. Performances from African music legend Kanda Bongo Man and stand-up comedy talent Gina Yashere head a stunning line up of international artists appearing in the Festival’s evening venues. And to top it off - a North African 'souk' will transform the streets with a diverse range of African textiles, leather and other products and a range of exotic food and drink. | |

The World comes to Town! - T02080473769Dorchester Festival, now in it’s 8th year, always manages to surprise and inspire, and 2008 will be no different! Cuba is our theme, with son, salsa and samba adding magic to a high quality programme of events that features a great mix of popular and up-and-coming performers, many of whom will play at two free events in Dorchester’s Victorian pleasure park, the Borough Gardens. This year’s festival would not have been possible without the unwavering support of Dorchester Town Council and our management board. A big thank you goes to all our sponsors, and especially West Dorset District Council for their continued guidance and support.Corporate Sponsor Dorset Echo. | |
