Wimborne Repair Café is all about fixing things. A place to bring along your items in need of repair that would otherwise be wasted.
The Repair Cafe is run by the community, for the community.
This event not only provides repair services but is also a space for people to come together for a social chat and to pass on skills.
Clothing, textiles, sewing, small electrical, toys, ceramics, jewellery, small furniture and bicycles. Our team of volunteer fixers are on hand to give your items a new lease of life.
30 Days Wild is The Wildlife Trusts' annual challenge, where we ask everyone to do one wild thing throughout the month of June.

Feel free to bring your creativity - wear costumes, bring banners and placards, sing, chant . . . the bigger the impact we can make the better! There is an open invitation for anyone to make a speech or say a few words at the rally.
Our 2025 festival : 11th - 18th October.
Come along to Planet Wimborne's annual Green Festival to meet local groups and hear about all the great environmental activities going on in the town and surrounding area.
The Festival is going from strength to strength and we believe we have something for everyone: from the Minster Fair on the first Saturday to craft workshops and talks spread throughout the week.
The 2023 Green Festival has been hailed a great success by the organisers. The aims of the festival were to engage with as many people as possible from as wide a background as possible, with a particular focus on young people and local businesses. With this in mind, the packed week long programme had something for everybody.
