🎶 We’re proud to share that Entertainment Dorset has been invited to take part in the nationwide “Everywhere At Once” initiative from @musicvenuetrust and @thenationallottery

Taking place over Glastonbury weekend, the campaign shines a spotlight on the importance of grassroots music venues across the UK ❤️

Amazing to see Dorset represented through venues including The Anvil Bournemouth and @bridportelectricpalace

If you’ve ever sat on music for too long, this one might hit home.
