Events

There is so much to see and do that you will find it hard to fit it all into one weekend. There are Concerts each evening from Friday through to Sunday, with World Class performers and on Friday and Saturday evenings we have Ceilidhs with top class Ceilidh Bands supplying the music. The Festival Club hosts 'open stage' performances and there are various free music workshops throughout the weekend. We also have dance workshops including Irish Set Dancing. The streets of Wimborne are alive with Morris dancing plus other traditional dance such as Appalachian in the Corn Market.
