    Blandford Forum Facts
    Did you know…

    1. A Bit Camp
      Previously used by the Royal Navy and Royal Flying Corps (forerunner of the RAF), Blandford Camp has been home to the Royal Corps of Signals since 1960. Two miles from the town, today it also houses the Royal Signals Museum, Royal School of Signals and the Defence College of Communications.
    2. Grand Designs
      Blandford was ravaged by four major fires between the 16th and 18th centuries. After the ‘great fire’ in 1731 which burnt much of the town, renowned architects the Bastard Brothers designed a new town centre in the Georgian style. A monument to the fire stands in the market square.
    3. Take A Walk
      Blandford has a superb selection of independent shops in some wonderfully names spots including, Tabernacle Walk, Barnack Walk, Hardys Yard and Georgian Passage.
    4. Royal Roots
      Once visited by King John, Blandford has a number of royal ties. It was for a time owned by Henry IV and today is part of the Duchy of Cornwall. Its royal heritage can be seen in the town’s crest.
    5. Mad as Bag of Badgers
      Created by Hall & Wodehouse who make Badgers Beers, three larger than life badgers sit on the roundabout outside the brewery. These Badgers are regularly dressed for dates like Halloween and other big national events.
    6. Forum
      The word ‘Forum’ is Latin for ‘marketplace’. Although there is no precise date of the first market, trading took place during the Saxon period, through the Middle Ages and is still going strong. The modern market is held on Thursdays and Saturdays in the old Market Square, showcasing produce from across the region.

    About

    An ancient market town, Blandford has been trading since before the Romans arrived with their fancy sandals and clean water. The town still has a thriving market but has switched focus to the purity of beer thanks to the hugely popular Hall & Wodehouse Brewery.

    After a number of fires decimated the town between the 16th and 18th centuries, a pair of famous architectural brothers gave Blandford a whole new look, installing some of the current impressive Georgian architecture. Along with fine houses there are great shops, good travel links and a keen foodie culture. What’s not to love?

    Leisure

    The town is very proud of its roots and holds a Georgian street fair in May, with a funfair, stalls, entertainment, street food and more. Those with artistic flair can  contribute to the many Art Society events held through the year. If music is your thing, the annual Teddy Rocks music festival raises money for local charities.

    There’s also a museum, fashion museum, golf course and Great Dorset Steam Fair attracting thousands every year.
