Rivers of Glory - Wimborne shop window display winners announced

Planet Wimborne, who organised the week-long Wimborne Green Festival, was keen to involve businesses in the town in celebrating the beauty and fragility of our rivers and teamed up with Wimborne BID to ask shops to create window displays.  The theme of this year's Green Festival and the window displays was 'Rivers', which of course is apt, given the Rivers Allen and Stour pass through and by the town.  Members of the public were encouraged to stroll around the town to admire the ingenuity of the shops and vote for their favourite window.

Best ever Wimborne Green Festival comes to a close

Like all good things, the Wimborne Green Festival 2024 has come to a close.  And what a week of events we have enjoyed - we firmly believe there was something for everyone.  There were some great firsts this year as well - from putting out the community flags (literally) to herald the start of the Festival; to live streaming and recording talks; to running workshops in schools.
