Artsreach announces brand-new Summer programme
May 9 – August 23
Dorset charity Artsreach is delighted to release details of its brand-new Summer programme, featuring 10 acclaimed national and international artists set to perform in rural communities across Dorset!
Our charity works in partnership with volunteer teams to present these events for all the community to enjoy, and a percentage of monies raised is retained in each community to support vital venues such as village halls.
