Dorchester Strollers logo

The Dorchester Strollers were formed in July 2003 and is run by volunteers. We are a friendly group offering free walks with trained leaders and backmarkers on Monday mornings and Tuesday afternoons. Walks start at different points in Dorchester and usually finish with a sociable tea or coffee.

Key information

Key information to make your walk more enjoyable:

  • registration is simple, we just ask for some contact details so we can make sure we regularly update you with our programme and newsletter
  • if coming for the first time, please arrive ten minutes before the start time so that we can take some contact details and welcome you
  • no need to book, just turn up on the day
  • walk leaders always turn up, regardless of the weather
  • only assistance dogs are allowed on our walks
  • occasionally we organise special walks that start outside Dorchester and last up to 90 minutes. These are generally timetabled for weekends, early summer evenings or Thursday afternoons
  • each Monday and Tuesday you can choose from a one hour fairly brisk walk or a shorter, slower walk of up to 45 minutes.  If you aren’t sure which walk to try, we recommend that you start with the shorter walk, especially if you are returning to walking following an illness or injury
