News and Notices

The Dorset Knob Throwing and Frome Valley Food Festival will, unfortunately, not take place in 2021 but, after a two year break, will return to Cattistock on Sunday 1 May 2022. Read more here.

Due to existing Covid-19 infection levels it has been decided to defer this year’s 200 Club lottery. The purpose is to protect our customers and collectors alike. Cattistock’s 200 Club will return later this year.

For anyone experiencing difficulties at the moment and having to turn to our Food Bank for support, or for those generous people donating food and general provisions, please read the attached update on how to use the Food Bank.

Annie Freud, the leader of Cattistock’s Poetry Group, has produced a fourth collection of her poems, Hiddensee. To read more about what brought about Hiddensee look on the Poetry Group’s page.

Please be aware that while we remain in Tier 3, we are prevented from entering the Fox and Hounds, which in turn means the community library is closed.

But there has recently been some generous donations of good quality books, so as soon as we can visit the library some new titles will be added to the choice of books already available.
