The Millennium Green that sweeps down from the Council offices off Rax lane is the site for two stages ‘Trevett’ and ‘Gale’ named in honour of two of Bridports’ most influential characters in the world of Music and Dance. Rex Trevett was a much loved and well respected teacher at the local secondary school. In addition to the motivation and teaching of music to his pupils, Rex was the prime moving force for many bands in the town including the Big bands. Bernard Gale, like Rex was an integral part of Bridport life and spent his life bringing an immense wealth of dance experience from Ballet to Ballroom which he imparted to young and old at his School of Dance in Barrack Street .
