Dorset COP 2025: Turning Environmental Ambition into Action

📅 Saturday 1 November 2025

📍 The Exchange, Sturminster Newton

🎟️ Tickets – Pay What You Can

Dorset COP is back for 2025! Now in it's third year, and this year we’re heading north - to the heart of rural Dorset - for a day of workshops, storytelling, creative action, and community connection.

Expect:

- A wide range of workshops to choose from

- Stories from across Dorset – from villages to towns

- Creative projects exploring art, nature, food, and energy

- Conversations about rural energy ownership and community power

- Live maps to see who’s doing what and where

- More time for connection, breaks, and reflection

This is more than a conference – it’s a space to meet, imagine, and build a future together. If you’re working towards a vibrant Dorset - through land, food, farming, arts, culture, or community - this gathering is for you.

🎟️ Tickets – Pay What You Can

We want this to be accessible to everyone. The suggested donation is £10 – but please pay what feels possible. No one will be turned away due to cost.
