Dorset COP 2025: Turning Environmental Ambition into Action

📅 Saturday 1 November 2025
📍 The Exchange, Sturminster Newton
🎟️ Tickets Available Now - 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.
