Blandford Forum is a market town in Dorset, England, by the river Stour 13 miles (21 kilometres) northwest of Poole. It had a population of 10,355 at the 2021 census.
The town is notable for its Georgian architecture, the result of rebuilding after a major fire in 1731, which was assisted by an Act of Parliament and a donation by George II, to designs by local architects.
The town's economy is based on a mix of the service sector and light industry. Blandford Camp, a military base, is on the hills two miles (three kilometres) north-east of the town. It is the base of the Roal Corp Signals, the communications wing of the British Army, and the site of the Royal Signals Museum.

Regional Manager Paul believes "This business would suit an independent Operator or Management couple who are not afraid of being 'Big Hosts', with a proven track record of sales growth through weekly activities, ‘live' entertainment, and strong community outreach. The pub currently trades well but with the right Operator in place could increase weekly sales."
