The attraction is offering free admission to juniors for the Wimborne Bear Day on Sunday 3 October when there will be lots of activities.

Events taking place on Saturday 18 September include a climbing wall and a Teddy Bear Zip Dip – so bring your teddy.

You may think you know Wimborne but Wimborne Community Theatre’s town trail and cryptic clues will test your knowledge.

One of the venues for the Wimborne History Festival, which takes place this weekend, is the Museum of East Dorset.

A resident of Wimborne, Ernest Kaye Le Fleming was a local GP, gifted photographer, pioneer of motoring, collector of antiques and local historian.

This autumn will see the return of the festival with a green-themed programme to include an Eco Fair, apple pressing and a Repair Café workshop.

The festival on 4 and 5 September will take visitors on a two-day, 200-year journey back to life in Georgian Wimborne.

Wimborne’s floral displays are now looking good thanks to a donation of £2,000 from the Friends of Canford School.
