Meet Charlotte!
You might already know her as Brewery Square’s very own Mad Hatter… but Charlotte is also our amazing Centre Manager! After a short break, she’s officially back in her role, and we couldn’t be happier to have her return.
To mark her return and our 18 years of Brewery Square celebrations later this year, we’ve collected Charlotte’s standout moments from right here at Brewery Square.
From unforgettable events to special moments with our community, she’s captured all the very best bits.
Charlotte says: “Community spirit is one of the best bits of Brewery Square. I think back to 2020 and how amazing it was to see everyone come together during tough times. Businesses were providing the NHS with free food, residents were helping neighbours with their shopping and the community really rallied around to help one another. It’s that spirit that really makes the Square a community and a home.
Our fantastic events calendar is another highlight. Easter is my favourite time of year, and I can’t wait to hop into this year’s celebrations… although who I’ll be dressed as this year is yet to be decided! Some of my favourite Easter memories include welcoming Andy’s Dino Raps, Dr Ranj, and Mr Bloom, right here in Dorchester, and of course, dressing up as the Mad Hatter for our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. These community events are so wonderful for the families who visit us.
Our 10th birthday bash was an exceptional celebration. With shops opening late, restaurants offering alfresco dining in the sunshine, open air theatre, and even distilling our own gin on the back of a mobile distillery, there have been so many special moments! This year marks 18 years of Brewery Square and we are planning our best birthday celebrations yet.
It’s also incredibly rewarding when new businesses choose Brewery Square as their home. Supporting local entrepreneurs as they open their doors for the first time is something truly worth celebrating. We’re proud to have such an amazing mix of independent businesses here for our community to enjoy and support.
And finally, we can’t not talk about Christmas! What’s not to love? Skating in the Square, the smell of mulled wine, and visitors enjoying festive shopping and dining. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
I can’t wait to make more memories with the amazing team at the Square, it’s great to be back!”
