Welcome to the Drimpton village website
We are a small rural community in West Dorset made up of the village of Drimpton and its neighbouring hamlets of Netherhay and Greenham. We hope you find your online visit to our community useful, helpful and even entertaining.
Changes to the website:
The Drimpton Archive page has been re-located to the Village section. It no longer accepts submissions.
Artsreach Events in Drimpton
Artsreach is a registered charity that works with a network of volunteers to bring high quality performances of live theatre, music, dance and family shows to the heart of rural communities across Dorset, including to Drimpton Village Hall.

DRIMPTON NOW RECYCLING MORE!
Exciting news – Drimpton now has its three new recycling bins in the Village Hall car park to take some of the items we can’t currently recycle in our roadside collections. The bins are all clearly marked so we can now recycle aluminium foil, tetrapak cartons, and crisp, nut, popcorn and pretzel packets, plus Pringles tubes. As it’ll be village volunteers taking them to Bridport for recycling, please make sure you leave only the items specified and that everything is washed and squashed, clean and dry!
Drimpton's Making A Difference team will be at the Coffee Morning with this and other ideas for local ways we can all help each other and the environment.
Your local info and ideas are crucial – please come along and get involved.
None of us has all the answers, but together we’re a genius!
