As part of its contribution to Wimborne Town of Culture 2026, Planet Wimborne is developing a series of themed town trails. First up this year is the Wimborne Music Trail – a walking trail around the town, celebrating our local musicians, events and venues, and including some tips on how to enjoy music sustainably. The Music Trail will be launched on Saturday 31st January at 4 pm in Square Records, Wimborne, where local folk musician Dorset Phil will be playing some of his wonderful songs.
