About Blandford Forum

Known for

The finest Georgian town in Dorset (rebuilt after a fire in 1731), the River Stour, the Dorset Regimental Museum, Hall and Woodhouse brewery (Badger Beer), and a Dorset market town of exceptional architectural unity

A little history

A catastrophic fire in 1731 destroyed most of Blandford Forum. Local architects John and William Bastard rebuilt the entire town centre in a remarkably unified Georgian style — creating one of England's finest examples of planned Georgian townscape. Hall and Woodhouse, brewers of Badger Beer, have been here since 1777.

Local tip

The Georgian town centre is genuinely beautiful — the Market Place and Church are outstanding. The Hall and Woodhouse brewery for the Badger Beer heritage. The Stour Valley walk. The Wednesday and Saturday markets.
