A series of events in Angus Wood hosted by members of the Blandford Environmental Trust (BET) included a children’s storytelling session with Treehouse Theatre featuring a dinosaur talent competition, The Jurassic’s Got Talent.

The Dorset theatre company also presented another children’s story The Elves and the Shoemaker, by the railway arches on Langton Meadow, hosted by the Blandford Town Museum.

On both occasions the weather was less than kind, but audiences and performers were able to remain undercover of the arches and gazebos provided. The woodland off St Leonard’s Avenue, Blandford, is managed by BET on behalf of its owners The Woodland Trust, and in August there were two sessions organised for those with disability or dementia and their carers.

They were held with the backing of Stepping into Nature to encourage those who might rarely get a chance to enjoy the natural environment to experience the benefits of being in woodland with native trees, an all-weather path accessible to wheelchairs, birds, bats, hedgehogs and other wildlife.
