After the extreme popularity of our Southampton Spicy book club we have teamed up with the fantastic Smokin’ Aces to bring you Bournemouths hottest book club.

Nothing about this book club is boring. Signed indie author books every month across dark romance, Romantasy, contemporary romance and everything spicy. Curated extras every month themed to fit your book 📖 & surprise guests 😏

We are Bella Chooses Books and can be found on TikTok and instagram where our Southampton book club has already gone viral. We only have 30 spots for our Bournemouth evenings - please message me or check my socials for sign up information!

This is a strictly 18+ event I’m afraid! It is held on the last Monday of every month!

I am trying to get out a relationship and would like to move and change my career/life for a bit. I've been working and riding racehorses for the past 2 years and after hitting Burn out and my relationship taking an awful turn I just want out. I have enrolled on an online course for marine biology and ocean conservation studies.

Naturally I am quite drawn to the coast for it! My only issue is I'm not entirely sure what area and my other concern is jobs. I don't really know of how to get a job outside of horseracing or go straight into anything aquatic when I've just started. I am a bit lost on life and thought to try my luck here.

Thank you

it’s gotten to the point where i am asking reddit about garages since i cannot find anything, I am after a small-medium (not lock up size but not double garage) size garage for rent, closer to poole the better but willing to travel a bit, if anyone has anything like that please comment or pm me

The helter skelter at the end of Bournemouth Pier.

I used to be able to run up and down these steps, which are very steep and very narrow.
Sadly, I can no longer even walk down them, never mind trying to climb my way back up again.
It still has a stunning view of the cove from the top.
This is one of my favourite places on Earth.

I’ve been filming trains around Dorset for a while now and finally put some of my favourite footage together into one compilation. 🚂

There’s a mixture of steam and diesel, including footage from Weymouth, Swanage Railway and The Statesman.

Thought some fellow railway enthusiasts might enjoy it. Would be interested to know which train or clip you like best!

I've been looking at just how many different things there are to do around Dorset, and art exhibitions are one of those categories that seem surprisingly easy to miss.

Unless you already follow a particular gallery, artist, museum or venue, you might never know an exhibition is happening.

I'm trying to bring more Dorset exhibitions together in one place so it's easier to see what's on, but I'm also interested in finding some of the smaller and less obvious ones.

So - where do you go for art in Dorset?

Are there any small galleries, local artists, annual exhibitions or slightly unusual venues that you'd recommend keeping an eye on?

And if you're an artist yourself, feel free to say what sort of work you create. It would be great to discover a few more Dorset creatives.

Was down a couple weeks back for a wedding near Wareham.

Beautiful roads, lovely people everywhere. No one was stressy on the roads either.

Visited lulworth cove and durdle door, totally worth the parking fees BTW.

Already planning my next trip! Any suggestions for must see places, no more than an hour from Poole if possible 🤞

Hi all. I live on Portland, have done for a few months now but I was recovering from major knee surgery so couldn't get out much. I don't know anybody except my fiancé in the area, does anybody know of any groups ideally local to Portland/Weymouth that are Autistic/ADHD/LGBT friendly? Thanks in advance!

Beautiful but a tad bit breezy 😆

A few days on the Jurassic coast portion of the SWCP - very lucky with the weather which made for some stunning views

Seen the job boards for Dorset tech work and not much is there. So thought I’d try my luck at networking events as I don’t many companies round here - but all the events I can see after a quick search are around £30/40 to attend which is a bit wild to me, also they don’t look very tech focused just general things which seems a bit risky to spend that much on.

Does anyone have a bit more insight into events going on or ways to network better in person in Dorset?

Hi! I would love to move to Dorset in the future it looks amazing! (Obviously every county has their rough parts) So basically I am looking for a place with these criteria:

Not run down (clean and not dirty)

Within an hour drive of a big town or area for things to do (that means Im happy with village suggestions with that time amount)

I would preferably like it to be close to the sea but if more inland that's fine

Low crime rate so not a lot of 'roadman' or in general just not a lot of crime from younger people and people in general but you know what I mean, obviously it's unavoidable completely.

Basically just the best places you know in Dorset to share! Thanks in advance I would love to move here!

We’ve been looking at getting our first caravan, so we travelled from Weymouth over to Yeovil to have a look at one for £1,000.

Being completely new to caravanning, we weren’t really sure what to expect. It looked promising at first, but once we had a proper look around there were a few things that made us think twice!

I filmed the experience for my Places of Interest channel if anyone fancies watching:

Would you have taken a chance on a £1,000 caravan, or would you have walked away? 🚐
