The Dorchester Association for Research into Local History & Archaeology
aims to advance public interest in Local History & Archaeology within the general area of Dorchester and its surroundings.We hold a series of eight lectures on Thursday evenings between September and May, usually at the Dorford Centre, Bridport Road, Dorchester, starting at 7.30pm. Visitors are welcome to attend these talks for a suggested donation of £3.

Field trips to digs, houses, museums and other places of interest to  the Association are also organised – often  at short notice in the case of archaeology on development sites.

Visitors are welcome at all monthly meetings and most others.    Click here to visit their website. It will open in a new tab.

Dorchester Civic Society
The Society was founded in 1974 and is independent and non-political. It exists to stimulate people’s interest in the town and its setting; encourage high standards of architecture, urban design and planning; preserve and enhance buildings and areas of historic interest and the town’s landscape setting; and promote civic pride. The Society promotes these aims by acting as a critical friend to the county, district and town councils and by collaborating with like-minded organisations.
