New Country event in Dorset this Summer

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s Disability charity, is launching a brand-new country event celebrating everything country, called Country Roots this June.

There will be line dancing, live music, great food, a bar and lots of fundraising shenanigans.

Live music comes from the UK’s newest country band, The Wild Ones, who will be performing their debut single ‘Jump On It’.

The event will be held at The Treehouse in Hurn on Friday 6 June from 6pm until 11pm.

Mariana Swain, events executive at Diverse Abilities commented: “We can’t wait to host our very first Country Roots event. We’ve got a great line-up and lots of different activities through the night, that we can’t wait for everyone to experience. And best of all, all the money raised will support children and adults with disabilities in the local community.”

There is also an opportunity to decorate your own cowboy hat ready for the event. The Cowboy Hat Workshop will take place on Wednesday 7 May between 6pm and 8pm. There will be craft leaders on hand to guide you through the process of customising your hat with various haberdashery, trinkets, and accessories as well as the option to brand letters or embroider a design.

Both events are at The Treehouse - Merritown Lane, Christchurch, BH23 6DT. The Treehouse opened last year as a specialist venue for people with disabilities, and now hosts various sessions for children with disabilities from across the local area.
