Summer Fete & Bake Off

Come and enjoy a wonderful traditional Summer Fete at the Museum of East Dorset. Set in the beautiful surroundings of the museum garden, this family-friendly day promises plenty of classic summer entertainment for visitors of all ages.

Enjoy traditional games and activities for all the family, browse a range of stalls and soak up the atmosphere with live music throughout the day. Visitors can pick up plants grown in the museum garden, hunt for hidden treasures among the second-hand books and take advantage of the museum shop’s biggest sale of the year with our shop stall located in the Garden Room.

There will also be delicious refreshments available in our Tea Room, alongside our very first Bake Off Competition (more information below), showcasing local baking talent with entries ranging from classic cakes to spectacular showstoppers. After judging, the cakes will be available to buy and enjoy during the fete.

Whether you come for the music, the shopping, the homemade cakes or simply to spend a relaxing summer day with family and friends, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

As part of this year’s Summer Fete, we are delighted to host our very first Bake Off Competition. Whether you are an experienced baker or simply enjoy baking at home, we invite you to enter and showcase your creations. See our website below for entry details.

Fete Open 10am to 3pm.
