Celebrate Wimborne Minster's Cultural Year in 2026
Wimborne’s story began over a thousand years ago, and this year it’s being told in a new voice. Town of Culture celebrates the traditions, festivals and landmarks that define Wimborne, while reimagining them for today.
From Roman roads to digital murals, from folk festivals to experimental soundscapes, Wimborne blends the familiar with the unexpected. It’s about connection across generations – giving history a heartbeat and heritage a future.
Wimborne becomes a town that looks back with pride and forward with imagination. Together, we’re rewriting the narrative through art, story and song. We celebrate what’s come before and create what comes next.
Wimborne is The Culture Catalyst.
