Cerne Abbas Outreach Services - 322518 & Child Okeford Outreach Services - 188518

Overview

The new postmaster at Child Okeford Post Office is unable to continue operating the Child Okeford Hosted Outreach services. However, the Postmaster from Cerne Abbas Post Office has agreed to operate three of these services. Regrettably, the remaining four services  will cease operating from Friday 13 February 2026.

Additionally, we are really pleased to let you know that we will be restoring Post Office services to the community of Milton Abbas, following the closure of the branch in December 2025, with the introduction of a Hosted Outreach service which will also be run by the postmaster from Cerne Abbas Post Office. This service will commence on Thursday 19 March 2026 at 09:30-11:00 and will be available at Milton Abbas Sports Pavilion, Hoggan Down, Milton Abbas, DT11 0BE.
