Mapperton’s Best of West Dorset Market – Sunday 3rd & Monday 4th May, 10am–4pm
Join us for Mapperton’s Best of West Dorset Market, a relaxed celebration of local producers, artisan makers and Dorset flavours.
Wander at your own pace and explore stalls filled with food, drink and handmade crafts. Meet the makers, try something new and discover unique pieces to take home. Enjoy live cooking demonstrations from local chefs sharing seasonal dishes and simple ideas for your own kitchen.
​Keep little explorers entertained with a mini market trail as Pippa’s animal friends roam the stalls.
.
Admission:
£5 per adult
Under-15s go free with a paying adult.
Pay cash or card at the gate, or book online.
Your ticket includes complimentary access to Mapperton Gardens, offering time to explore after visiting the market. A portion of proceeds will support Weldmar Hospicecare and their work in the community.
The Coach House Café will be open throughout the event, serving fresh food and drinks.

​Both the market and gardens are dog-friendly but dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.
We look forward to welcoming you for an incredible spring weekend at Mapperton, celebrating the very best that Dorset has to offer.
