No, but you do need to fill out an application form and be accepted before you can exhibit.

You can download the form from the link I posted.

Dorset is a county, not a place and is next to Somerset.
Abbey Hill is in Yeovil, which is in Somerset. I live in Bournemouth which is about 50 miles away from Abbey Hill.
