A three-day music festival celebrating and supporting local singers and bands is being held this coming weekend. The Raising Spirit Festival will take place in the walled garden of Came House at the Came Estate near Dorchester from June 18 to 20. The festival is the brainchild of Weymouth musician Ben Waters, who wishes to champion the world-class performers on our doorstep and help musicians who lost their income during the pandemic. He said: 2020 saw the hardest year ever for many people, particularly the people of Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester. It s long overdue that we should be championing this remarkable pocket of talent here in the south west and also at a time when they need help.
