Weddings, events and parties!

Weddings

Whether it’s just an evening reception or everything after the ceremony, Dorchester RFC is an ideal venue. There is a bar area, hall and kitchen facilities that can all be used together or separately to fit your needs. The top pitches can also be used as an outdoor space and have often accommodated marquees for events larger than the clubhouse itself can hold.

Dinners

We can seat about 90 people around tables in the hall area and can provide enough chairs and rectangular tables to accommodate this. We have the kitchen facility available and can recommend caterers for you or you are welcome to bring your own in. The bar can also be made available and drinks packages can be negotiated depending on your needs.

Parties

Whether you’re turning 30 or celebrating 30 years of marriage, what better way to celebrate than a party! We can offer the perfect venue that can hold up to 160 people with a large car park and outdoor space as well. A reasonably priced bar, hall that’s ideal for a band and/or disco and a kitchen available make Dorchester RFC great for all types of celebrations. (Please note however that we do NOT do 18th birthday parties, sorry!)

Children’s parties

The hall in the clubhouse along with the kitchen facility make it perfect for a kids party. Ideal for a disco or entertainer, the (approx) 10m x 10m room with separate kitchen area is a town alternative to hiring a village hall. Weather permitting, the outside space offers an extra overflow space for them to run off even more energy and there is plenty of space in the car park for parents to drop off or even stick around if necessary. Dependent on timings, the bar may also be available.

Catering for your event

The clubhouse has its own kitchen with commercial oven and other cooking equipment, a large fridge, a freezer and counter space. There is a company we use to provide post match meals for players and any sponsors lunches we may have on a Saturday, plus any club events that require a sit down meal or buffet. Their details are available on request and they will work with you to work out exactly what you require and give you a good price. We also have contacts to provide hog roasts and BBQs if you would prefer something like that.

We have cutlery and tableware for 90 people, but any more than this would require the hire of additional crockery.

A cake is usually something required at an event, whether it be your birthday or wedding and we have contacts that can create the perfect cake for you. Whether you want a traditional wedding cake or a more modern cup cake version, we know of people who can make that happen for you.

Although we have these contacts and they are our preferred suppliers, there is nothing to stop you sourcing your own catering arrangements if you prefer
