Holding Events at The Lost Village of Dode

We love to host a number of events throughout the year hear at Dode to give people a chance to visit a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and the past whispers its secrets to those who listen. Events range from Afternoon Teas, History talks, Music Nights, Supper Nights and of course our renowned Christmas Carols....not to be missed each December.

Dates for our Carols each year as per tradition will be announced via our social media channels on the 31st October at 2pm.

We are always open to hear new ideas for events or if you would like to hire our Dode for your own event, retreat, workshop please do get in touch becky@dodevillage.com.
