What is MAP24?

There is an open meeting in Portesham Village Hall on 13th April at 12.30 to update on progress so far. All are welcome. Baps and hot drinks will be available from 10.00

In 1024 Abbotsbury and Portesham were granted as manors by King Canute to his servant Orc. In 2024 the villages are celebrating the millennium of this event – Millennium of Abbotsbury & Portesham (MAP24).

Apart from having fun (the top priority) the aim of the celebration is to:
– raise money and increase publicity for local businesses, charities and groups (putting them on the map)
– donate funds raised by the committee to improve a local facility for the benefit of both villages (changing the map)

We have decided to make this a year long celebration and are inviting anyone and everyone to organise their own events.
We simply ask that people let us know what they are planning so that we can ensure that there are no clashes. The calendar of events will be kept up-to-date so please check this before choosing a date for you event.

We are planning a fayre ‘through the ages’ to take place on the 27th July 2024. Please use this form to register your event or activity for the fair.

Please contact MAandP24@gmail.com if you would like to become involved or to let us know what you are planning.
