Many of the leading attractions such as the Fleet Air Arm Museum and the Tank Museum hold special themed half term events and fun days. Get creative and visit one of the country parks and join in some craft making activities or go to one of the art centres and enjoy some half term shows.
Dorchester may be one of the smallest county towns in England but it is packed full with history, culture and activities. Discover 6,000 years of history by exploring Maiden Castle, Europe’s largest hill fort, where Dorchester’s first settlement arose, the Roman Town House, the trial of the Tolpuddle Martyrs and so much more.
Dorchester has some excellent museums to explore ranging from teddy bears to Tutankhamen. Why not take some time out of your day to visit one (or all!) of these interesting museums.
If you are spending the weekend in Dorchester, don’t forget to visit Poundbury – a modern extension of Dorchester designed by Prince Charles. The village is famous for its impressive architecture and design and is dotted with little independent boutiques and specialist shops.
