GOOD things have been happening in West Parley for over a year now with the Dudsbury Country Club going strength to strength.

Placing itself as more than just a restaurant or bar and instead more of an experience closer to a festival with major music acts and DJ’s regularly making the pilgrimage.

It could also be the five acres of gardens, woods and outdoor play area making it a popular destination for families both locally and from further afield. To coincide with the start of the school holidays the Dudsbury Country Club is running a children eat free deal every Monday to Friday for lunch or dinner until the end of the summer school holidays.

Buy one main Course from the Summer A la Carte menu and receive a free kids meal from the children’s menu (excludes Friday night).

With a weekly kids party held every Friday and an assortment of interesting events held throughout the week.

Next month, there is set be a three-day family festival, The Party in the Garden of Love (August 27-29).

Each day offering a headline turn from some of the most influential singers from the house music scene.

Featuring British club singer Alison Limerick who shot to fame with her massive worldwide hit,Where Love Lives. Also, American singer Byron Stingily best known for his falsetto voice and huge US number one Get Up (Everybody).

Completing the line-up is a roster of top flight DJs. The event is being held in conjunction with children’s charity, Variety who work for sick, disabled or underprivileged children.

Special festival top hats will on sale during the three day event and a ticket promotion on children’s tickets to help raise money for the children's charity.

Frances Cornellius of Variety says: 'Variety the children's charity, Wessex Region' is absolutely delighted to be working alongside The Dudsbury Country Club and we cannot thank them for all the support that we have received to date. I am sure that all the events that they are holding during the summer months will be marvellous for families with children.”
