Friday 28th June, the Playing Fields, Stourpaine Village Hall

The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company is returning to Stourpaine with their new play, The Dressing Book. This promises to be a moving, hilarious and provocative show that touches on body image and whether things have changed since 1795.

If you haven’t seen one of the Rude Mechanical’s performances before, why not come along and enjoy the spectacle? The actors are highly talented, as well as being accomplished musicians, and their clever plays are funny as well as being though provoking.

The play takes place outdoors, so make sure you dress for the English June weather – it can get pretty cold in the evenings. You can also come early and have a picnic before the show; bring your own food and drink so you won’t be disappointed! You will also need to brink your own low back chair to enjoy the show from.

You can find out more, and book tickets, here.

The 100 Club is resuming in January 2024. The Club helps raise much needed funds for the Stourpaine Village Hall, as well as giving members the chance to win a cash prize each month. It is open to residents of Stourpaine and surrounding areas who are aged 16 or over.

Further information about the 100 Club can be found here.

An application form to join the 100 Club can be downloaded here.

Every Tuesday from 10.00 – 12.00 the Stourpaine Village Hall will open its doors to anybody who would like to spend time there. Free tea and coffee will be available, as will free wifi. You are very welcome to come down and have a chat with friends old and new, or just to sit quietly in a warm place.

The Post Office will also be in attendance each Tuesday morning, so why not come own to use their services, and stay and have a warm drink and a catch up.

The Stourpaine Parish Council and the Village Hall Committee are pleased to announce that they have secured the services of the Child Okeford Outreach Post Office for the village.
