The Courtyard Centre
Dorset’s best kept secret, here on your doorstep...
Welcome to The Courtyard Centre website. We are one of the few free attractions in Dorset and offer a huge range of arts, crafts and shopping activities.
The Courtyard is fortunate to be set in an idyllic semi rural location and offers a welcoming and relaxing environment to visitors of all ages. We hold regular classes and events and the centre is also a popular choice for wedding and celebrations in our Medieval hall.
There are 18 businesses based here including a working pottery, and traditional country restaurant. There are regular events including colourful outdoor displays and things to make and do. The centre is a mixture of the traditional and contemporary, ensuring there is something for everyone!
