We are delighted to announce that a new temporary art installation will be open at Frampton Millennium Green from Friday 6th September until Tuesday 1st October 2024!

‘River Droplet’ is a temporary installation that shines a light on the unique character of chalk streams in Dorset.

Created by artist Lorna Rees and architect Amanda Moore, the installation consists of 500 bottles of water taken from the adjacent River Frome. The chalky bed of the river can be seen by the sediment in each of the bottles. FIND OUT MORE

Frampton Millennium Green, situated next to the village hall and fronting the River Frome, was opened in the summer of 2000 and has proved a boon to the village ever since. On a sunny day bring a picnic and watch the ducks as they glide along the tranquil waters.

Events held on the green include an annual village fete and annual tug of war competition across the River Frome.

Close by, just past the Village Hall, is Harry’s Wood for a pretty woodland walk under the shade of the trees.

The best way to get to River Droplet at Frampton is by bike! With  the new Valley to Market Trail, you can follow the River Frome between Maiden Newton and Dorchester, stopping off at Frampton along the way.

Try out the the new Beryl Bikes hire scheme in Dorchester and Weymouth if you don’t already have a bike.

If you are travelling by car, please respect local residents and park safely along the main road.

NB: No parking allowed in the Village Hall car park, as it is in constant use with hall users.
