    The Boulby Dark Matter Collaboration (BDMC) is running several experiments for particle (WIMP) dark matter search in the Underground Boulby Laboratory. These include a liquid xenon detector (ZEPLIN I) and a low pressure gas TPC with directional sensitivity (DRIFT I). Next stage double-phase xenon detectors ZEPLIN II and ZEPLIN III, and a new TPC DRIFT II will be installed at Boulby in a few months. Recent results from the running experiments are discussed and future programme towards large-scale detectors is presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Contribution to the Rencontres de Moriond - Cosmology: Exploring the Universe (La Thuile, 28 March - 4 April, 2004
