The Buttermarket Welcome to the heart of the South West Quadrant

The Buttermarket is surrounded by boutique shops , businesses and cafés and comes alive during the day . The focal point is the iconic Butter Market Bakery , which is an artisan bakery with a rustic interior and the iconic Maiden House at the south end . New additions to the Buttermarket include the new Post Office within the relaunched Buttermarket Stores , the Bramble Café and Deli , run by Mat Follas , Poundbury Pilates and Wessex ECOEnergy . Co-owner of the Bramble Café Amanda Follas said : “ It is a great space and we ’ re pleased to open the cafe here and be part of the square . We can ’ t wait to see it progress this year .” At Easter , the square was bustling with children and families taking part in an Easter egg hunt organised by traditional toy shop Boo ’ s Toy Shop . Owner Charlie Polley said : “ The Buttermarket is perfect for events as it is so open and feels great when it is filled with lots of people .” Boo ’ s Toy Shop also organise an annual Santa ’ s Grotto in the square , which brings in gleeful families from across Dorset .

It is a great open space here and we ’ re pleased to open our café in the Buttermarket . We can ' t wait to see it progress
