About the event

Find out about the traditional craft of building dry stone walls, an important feature of the South Dorset Ridgeway landscape. A chance to try your hand at building some yourself with friendly instructors from EuCan and Dorset Dry Stone Walling Association on hand to help (no experience needed, just enthusiasm!) and be inspired by the dry stone walls built by volunteers over the past few years. Morning or Afternoon sessions available.

This event is part of our Landscape for Life Festival, celebrating 60 years of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We’ve asked some very special people who live and work in this rich and vibrant landscape to share the places they love with you. Join artists, story-tellers, wildlife experts, geologists, farmers, archaeologists to uncover what makes the landscape so outstanding… and find your own place to love along the way.
