Child Okeford – Village website
Child Okeford is a picturesque village nestled amongst the captivating landscape of the Blackmore Vale in the heart of the North Dorset countryside. Hambledon Hill lies to the east , the River Stour to the west and the village is in easy reach of the market towns of Shaftesbury, Blandford and Sturminster Newton. Although we are a rural community there are lots of events going on and the village is home to a thriving artistic community.
On the pages of this website we have information on what’s on, where to stay, the village hall, community centre ,our local businesses, local artists, the numerous clubs and societies within the village and much, much more.
If you have a news item about the village that you would like others to know about, or if you are organising an event in the village and would like it publicised or for any other reason let us know by email [email protected]
We are delighted to announce that the Child Okeford Village Shop has been voted the best village shop in the South West of England. The shop would like to thank everyone who voted for them. The shop now moves on to the National Awards to find the best village shop in the United Kingdom. This is decided by a panel of judges and will be announced towards the end of June.
Our congratulations go to Andrew and his team for an excellent result and excellent shop. Well done to you all.
