The beautiful grounds of Cranborne Lodge will once again come alive this summer as the Cranborne Garden Party returns on Saturday 8 August, bringing together live music, local food, English wine and a relaxed festival atmosphere in the heart of the Dorset countryside.
On arrival, guests will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of the new Seventeen28 English sparkling wine to enjoy as they settle into the party.
Open from 1pm until 11pm, the event promises a full day of entertainment with performances from popular music favourites Bloc Off the Wall, JG Collective, Hugo and Neon Rose, providing the soundtrack to an afternoon and evening of summer celebrations.
Alongside the live music, there will be a carefully curated selection of independent food stalls serving something for every taste. Guests can enjoy handcrafted wood-fired pizzas from The Fiery Fox Pizza, gourmet burgers from The Ultimate Gourmet Burger Co, Mediterranean-inspired dishes from The Wandering Olive, sweet treats from Posh Crepes, and cheese from the Book and Bucket Cheese Company.
Set within the stunning grounds of the historic Cranborne Lodge, the Garden Party offers visitors the opportunity to gather with friends and family, enjoy great food and drink, and make the most of a summer day in one of Dorset’s most picturesque locations.
Organiser Karen Walker said, “The Garden Party is all about bringing people together for a fantastic summer day out. We’ve got an incredible line-up of musicians, food stalls and our new English sparkling wine Seventeen28 for everyone to try. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests to relax and enjoy the party in the beautiful gardens of Cranborne Lodge.”
Following the success of the previous year, the event is expected to attract visitors from across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and beyond, offering a unique opportunity to experience great local food, live music and summer hospitality in a truly special setting.
