This festival has a special place in my heart as it’s held in my home town of Wimborne and I’m over the moon to be there this year looking after Tweedy Clothing’s stall.

Having been in place since the early 1980s, Wimborne Minster Folk Festival is one of the largest gatherings of folk dancing and musicians in the South of England. The whole town comes alive with music and comedy, concerts and ceilidhs, workshops, dance displays, street markets, and family areas.

There’s music in all the local pubs and the popular Microbrewery, located at Allendale Car Park. 

The festival boasts 10 stages and 60 dance sides. With hundreds of performances scheduled across the weekend, for all ages it will be hard to know which ones to choose but, whatever you choose, you are bound to have a good time!
