WIMBORNE CHRISTMAS MARKET RETURNS WITH SEASONAL STALLS AND FESTIVE FARE!
Wimborne’s seasonal celebrations will see the return of the town’s Christmas Market on Saturday 29th November, running from 11am to 6pm in the High Street Car Park and parts of the main high street just off Wimborne Square.
Fully funded by Wimborne BID and organised and managed by Dorset-based Stir Events, the market will feature a host of tempting stalls offering festive gifts and seasonal fare. Expect a merry mix of mulled wine, food stalls including sizzling Bratwurst sausages and a treasure trove of artisan gifts, local food and drink. There are also seasonal treats perfect for stocking fillers or why not indulge in some self-gifting?
The market is timed to coincide with Wimborne’s annual Christmas Lights Switch-On, which takes place at 5pm. Attendees are encouraged to enjoy the market before and after the switch-on ceremony.
Fiona Pawsey, Chair of Wimborne BID, said: “Wimborne BID is delighted to fund the Christmas Market, helping to add even more magic to Wimborne's famous Christmas Lights Switch-On celebrations. Grab your festive jumper or Christmas hat, grab a cup of mulled wine and join in the fun.”
The event is free to attend and aims to support local businesses while offering residents and visitors a festive day out in the heart of Wimborne.
