Our Story

Born From Friendship, Driven by Purpose

DHB Events started as the result of a group of friends chatting in the pub one day and deciding to put on a Christmas Charity fundraiser.

What began as one simple idea has grown into an incredible community of like-minded, generous and above all, friendly businesspeople who all share one common goal: combining a good day out and having fun, with raising money for deserving local charities across Dorset and Hampshire.

Our Partners

Proudly Supported By

We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors and partners whose generous support helps make our charitable events possible.

Brown & Brown Insurance

Brown & Brown have sponsored our Christmas Charity Luncheon Event from the very beginning. Their unwavering support and generosity over the years has been amazing. We have developed a great relationship with their team over the years and are extremely grateful that they choose us as their partner for our flagship Christmas event.

Hotline Promotional Products

Hotline Promotional Products joined us as sponsors 3 years ago and provide the branded pens and other merchandise for our events. Their support and commitment has been very appreciated and its great when our guests get a free gift pen to take away!

Marsham Court Hotel

The Marsham Court Hotel in Bournemouth has been our venue of choice for our Christmas Charity Luncheon for several years now. Their attention to detail, facilities, brilliant staff team and general willingness to help and support us in any way has made working with them an absolute pleasure and we wholeheartedly recommend them for all functions and corporate events.

Mike Osman

Mike Osman has provided the entertainment for our guests since our very first Christmas Charity Luncheon. As well as providing first class stand up comedy, impressions, jokes and general mayhem he has been the lynchpin of our charity auctions. His wit, timing, skill and amazing crowd management has enabled us to raise amazing sums of money for our charities. We consider him much more than just a partner he is a firm friend and DHB Events is supremely grateful to him for his efforts on our behalf.
