✅ WE ARE OPEN — ABBOTSBURY IS NOT CLOSED! ✅
Please don't let the many ROAD CLOSED signs in and around Abbotsbury put you off. There is access through the village and to Abbey Farm from BOTH directions, whether you're travelling from Bridport or Weymouth. Nothing has changed — you can still get to us, just drive around the road signs!

The village car park by Rodden Row is also OPEN and accessible as normal 🚗

Yesterday was the first day of the Wessex Internet works and, unfortunately, the signage makes it look as though Abbotsbury is completely closed. This is not the case!

We had a shockingly quiet day yesterday, and as a small independent business, it is incredibly worrying. We, along with other businesses and residents in the village, have over the past weeks raised concerns about the timing and impact of these works, but sadly they went ahead during this period rather than being postponed until a quieter time of year.

Wessex Internet and their team have assured us that access will be maintained, and our customers will be allowed through, so please don't be put off by the signs. If you're coming to Abbotsbury, you CAN get through, and you CAN get to Abbey Farm.

Please, please continue to support us and all the other independent businesses at Abbey Farm and throughout Abbotsbury while these works are taking place. We would really love to see you 🙏

🍒 Cherries is OPEN EVERY DAY, 10am – 5pm as usual — breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake are all waiting for you.

💙 ABBOTSBURY IS OPEN. ABBEY FARM IS OPEN. CHERRIES IS OPEN 💙
