In celebration of our favourite local independent pubs, the Echo has teamed up with CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) to bring you a list of opening dates for Dorset pubs.
As announced, from April 12 at the earliest pubs will be able to open their beer gardens, rooftop gardens and patios across England as lockdown rules are eased.
Those without outside seating areas can start to reopen from May 17.
Here is the list of when Dorset pubs will reopen - reprinted with thanks to CAMRA West Dorset.
