It's market eve in Shaftesbury!

Join us tomorrow at the weekly Thursday Charter Market and enjoy one of the town's longest-standing traditions.

Whether you're shopping for fresh produce, artisan bread, organic meat, fish, cheese, plants or tasty treats, our regular traders will be ready to welcome you.

Shop local, meet the traders and enjoy all that Shaftesbury's market has to offer.

Please note that the road closure has been cancelled due to the temporary traffic lights on Bimport. All market stalls face the pavement, so you can still enjoy a safe and relaxed shopping experience away from the road. We ask all vehicle users to drive considerately along the High Street.

We are excited to welcome The Budapest Cafe Orchestra this coming Saturday evening.

They are a small but impeccably formed orchestra of just four players combined to create an aural alchemy so wholesome you would be forgiven for thinking a far bigger ensemble is at work.
“The music is magic in their hands” Sean Rafferty BBC Radio 3

“Back by popular demand, the fiery vivacity and awe-inspiring musicianship of the finest purveyors of Eastern European gypsy music this side of a Lada scrap heap will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet…” TIMES

“The Budapest Cafe Orchestra play a blistering barrage of Czardas, East European and Russian folk tunes that might have come from the Hot Club of Paris via the Orient Express!” Brighton Argus

“THEIR VIRTUOSIC SKILL, HILARIOUS SENSE OF HUMOUR AND UNDOUBTED SENSITIVITY KEPT THE PACKED AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND. AMAZING ….UNLIKE ANY OTHER BAND THAT I HAVE EVERY HEARD.” Ely Standard

“Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief.” SCOTSMAN

Booking highly recommended online https://shaftesburyartscentre.org.uk/events/budapest-cafe-orchestra/ or via the Box (01747) 854321

Looking forward to gazing up to that beautiful sky on Saturday 🥰🥰

Instead of me telling you how great the sessions are here is some feedback from the last couple of Qi Gong sessions, the question was, how do you feel you benefited from the session??

“My balance improves as does my mental and physical well being, meeting friends and enjoying fresh air and lovely surroundings”💖

“I live for it-came back just in time from Australia and wouldn’t miss is for the world!” 🤩

“Fun and beautiful setting”😎

“I feel great afterwards!”🥳

Sounds good?? Why not book up for this Saturday 10.30, did I mention the session is FREE 🌟😊🌟
