Evershot village is the second highest village in Dorset and has connections with Thomas Hardy. It is home to Sticklands Primary School, a village shop with post office, an Anglican church, Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, The Acorn public house, the Village Bakery, Little Acorns children’s playgroup and a Village Hall.

St. Osmond’s Church dates back to C12th and was restored by the Victorians in 1864. There are two services a month – on the first Sunday of the month there is morning worship and on the third Sunday of the month there is a Holy Communion service. There is a small prayer meeting every month and a Bible study twice a month with people from other villages. Carol singing takes place around the village prior to Christmas and there is usually a full church for the Carol Service on Christmas Eve. Other activities take place during the year and are locally advertised.

There is a regular team of bellringers.

A Re-ordering Project has commenced with a view to installing a toilet, improving the lighting and heating, and making the serving of refreshments easier at the end of a service.

A monthly village coffee morning takes place in different people’s homes (apart from in the winter months). Everyone is welcome and this is a good opportunity to meet others.
