    Sturminster Newton Facts
    Did you know…

    1. Carnival!
      One of a number of towns making up the West Country Carnival Circuit. Peculiar to the South West, it’s essentially Guy Fawkes Night meets Rio Carnival. Instead of a guy on a bonfire, folks out west like to create elaborate floats covered in lights.
    2. 2 Become 1
      Sturminster and Newton were once separate villages either side of the river. The minster (church) on the River Stur and Newton the ‘new settlement’. Once conjoined it was recorded in both the Anglo-Saxon chronicles of 968 BCE and the Domesday Book, 1086.
    3. Bridge To Far
      In the 19th century a sign was added to the town’s bridge stating “Any person wilfully injuring any part of this county bridge will be guilty of a felony and upon conviction be liable to be transported for life by the court.” So, don’t say we didn’t warn you!
    4. Milk Spotting
      Trains for transporting milk and cheese began running1913 and continued through both wars until 1966. The station and goods yard were demolished in 1970 but Dairy Crest continued to operate in the town until 2,000. Today the annual Cheese Festival attracts 13,000 visitors.
    5. Cattle Town
      It was home to the biggest cattle market in Europe. Fairs and markets had taken place dating back to 1219 but declining numbers meant the market had to moooooove on. The site has since been redeveloped into housing.
    6. Red Lion
      ‘Stur’ has some great myths. Once a year on midnight the lion pictured on the sign of The Red Lion Pub is said to climb down from the sign, prowl through the town and drink from the river, before returning to the pub. “Go home Lion, you’re dunk!”

    About

    Magic lions, crazy carnivals, bridges with an attitude, Sturminster is as quirky as it is picturesque. This is very much a rural community at heart with a high number of horse riders and a populace that value outdoor space and the environment.

    There are good shops, a department store, plenty of local events and some particularly odd local myths that all add to the colour of this Dorset idyll.

    Leisure

    Food lovers can have their fill at the annual Cheese Festival which features over 60 food stalls, with cheeses and other goodies from across the region.

    There’s a number of stables and riding centres in the area, golf courses, woodland, bridleways, cycle paths and fields a’ plenty for dog walking or simply enjoy the countryside. Plus a leisure centre with a gym and wide range of classes from martial arts to dance.
