LOCALS are being invited to join a recording of BBC Radio 4’s culinary Kitchen Cabinet at Dorchester’s Thomas Hardye School.

It will take place on Thursday, November 21 with the recording starting at 6.30pm, although the audience is expected to take their places in the school hall up to an hour earlier.

The programme, based around food and cooking, is hosted by Jay Rayner, and is described as “witty, fast moving and irreverent”.

Audience members will have their chance to put any questions about food and drink to the panel of experts with the event expected to finish at 7.30pm.

Those taking part will have to bring a valid photo id and will need to apply, in advance, for free tickets to bbc.co.uk/showsandtours
