Blandford Forum, Market town in Dorset, England

Blandford Forum sits along the River Stour, featuring numerous Grade I listed buildings and five industrial estates across its 862-acre territory.

A catastrophic fire in 1731 destroyed 90% of the town, leading to reconstruction efforts funded by Parliament and King George II under local architects.

The Blandford Georgian Fayre presents the town's heritage through exhibitions, market stalls, and historical presentations throughout the streets.

The town contains two primary schools, a secondary institution with sixth form, and multiple private educational establishments for local residents.

The Royal Signals Museum at Blandford Camp exhibits military communication equipment and documents dating from the Napoleonic Wars to present day.
