Beaminster’s Scarecrow Trail is running throughout August, so there is still time to grab a trail map and start searching for scarecrows!

Buckham Fair 2026 has raised £138,000 in support of the Emergency & Critical Care Unit Appeal at Dorset County Hospital. Huge congratulations to everyone involved and everyone who went along to support 🙌🏻

Together, we made a difference.

Martin, Philippa and the Buckham Fair Committee are incredibly proud to announce that, thanks to your amazing generosity, Buckham Fair 2026 has raised £138,000 in support of the Emergency & Critical Care Unit Appeal at Dorset County Hospital.

Every ticket purchased, donation made and act of support has helped us move one step closer to improving emergency and critical care for our local community.

The committee of Buckham Fair would like to add….

This incredible total simply wouldn’t have been possible without our visitors, exhibitors, sponsors, volunteers, neighbours and everyone who helped make this year’s fair such a tremendous success.

From all of us at Buckham Fair, thank you for helping us make a real and lasting difference. Together, we’re supporting better care for Dorset, now and for future generations.

The view from Buckham Down opened up in a way we’ve seldom seen before.

Thank you for making this day so special.
