Month-long festival helped people to Discover Wimborne

This April’s Discover Wimborne event saw a record-breaking 184 events taking place in the town.

For the first time in the festival’s nine-year history, there was an event happening every single day of the month, offering an eclectic mix of activities including workshops, guided tours, live music, creative classes, yoga sessions, health and wellbeing events, and themed restaurant experiences. Many events were free.

BID Chair Fiona Harwood said: “Wimborne Minster has once again proven itself to be a thriving hub of culture and community.”

Residents and visitors were able to access event details through free printed programmes, large display boards in key locations and through online resources.

Harwood said: “The overwhelming participation and enthusiasm surrounding Discover Wimborne 2025 reaffirms its status as a cornerstone of the town’s cultural calendar. It’s always a fabulous way to kickstart the festival season in the town and we’re grateful to all the businesses who got behind this event with such positivity.”
