A West Dorset law firm has been thanked for its continued support of the annual Bridport Literary Festival.

Kitson & Trotman, which has offices in Bridport, Beaminster, Lyme Regis and Weymouth, has been the festival’s main sponsor for the last 20 years.

The firm’s four partners called into The Book Shop, in South Street, Bridport, to see the titles that will be centre stage at the festival.

Said festival director Tanya Bruce-Lockhart: ‘We’re extremely grateful to Kitson & Trotman for their support and look forward to seeing them at this year’s festival.

‘You only have to look at all the local events and groups supported by Kitson & Trotman to see how much the firm is committed to the local community.’

From the outset, the firm has supported BridLit, which is now a firm fixture on West Dorset’s autumn. Venues in and around Bridport will play host to top writers and speakers from 3-9 November.
