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]
Once again residents are being contacted by “The Child Okeford Parish Business Directory” to ‘renew’ their listing in the directory. Although this ‘Directory’ exists, and looks identical to official government [.gov.uk] websites it “does not form part of HM Government”. Most of those contacted never asked for a listing on the site and from queries we have received seem to be under the impression that it is something to do with the Child Okeford Parish Council. It is not.
This website is the official website of Child Okeford Parish Council and listings on this website are free, always have been and always will be. Pay the Business Directory/ Don’t pay the Business Directory it’s up to you but we have no links to it.
