The Shaftesbury Snowdrop Event will return for 2023 next month, it has been confirmed.

Previously, there had been fears the event could be called off due to financial problems, but organisers have rallied to ensure people will get to mark the blooms on 18 February.
Two sessions will be held for people to create lanterns for the traditional parade.
They will take place at the Trinity Centre between 10.30am and 1pm and from 1.30pm to 4pm on the day.

“The parade itself will set off from the Trinity Centre at between 6pm and 6.15pm,” said one of the organisers, Shaftesbury town councillor Tim Cook.
“We wait for it to get fully dark to create the spectacle.”
He added: “Anyone with a lantern from previous years can also attend one of the lantern workshops to refresh theirs.”
Tickets for the workshops are free, available from Shaftesbury Tourist Information Centre.
Cllr Cook also said there would be a talk on snowdrops on the day, with full details to be confirmed, as well as Dances in Time performing at the parade.
“After the procession, musicians will retire to a town hostelry for music and more,” Cllr Cook said.

On Sunday 19 February, the National Trust at Kingston Lacy gardens will be open from 9.30am to 5pm, where people can see more spectacular snowdrops.
