How to Train Your Dragon – Wimborne Edition!

Calling all brave dragon tamers! It’s time to polish your scales and fly down to Wimborne this October. Wimborne’s award-winning Museum of East Dorset is turning up the heat with a brand-new attraction that’s sure to set imaginations soaring. Following the success of its summer Minecraft activities, the museum is thrilled to unveil its latest fire-cracking experience: “How to Train Your Dragon” – Wimborne Edition!
From Saturday 11th October to Saturday 1st November, families can swoop into a world of mythical fun with a jam-packed programme of dragon-themed activities designed to spark creativity, courage, and a little bit of chaos (the good kind!).
What’s on the Dragon Docket? A Dragon Trail Quest where families can embark on a museum-wide hunt to track down elusive dragons hiding in historic corners. Can you find them all before they fly off?
Let your imagination take wing as you create your very own dragon companion. Scales, wings, glitter—go wild at special Design-a-Dragon Craft Workshops. This half term there will also be an art competition. Submit your fiercest, funniest, or most fabulous dragon artwork for a chance to win a prize that’s hotter than dragon breath!
And don’t miss the Hands-On Dragon Training. Learn the essentials of dragon flight and master the art of fire-fighting—because every good dragon needs a responsible handler. Test your skills, earn your wings, and become a certified Dragon Master by the end of the week.
If that’s not enough fun for one day there’s dressing up dragon style where you’re invited to delve into the Museum dressing up box - a treasure trove of transformation with dragon-loving legends.
Whether you're a seasoned dragon whisperer or just dipping your claws into the world of fantasy, the Museum of East Dorset is the ultimate half-term destination. Expect laughter, learning, and a little bit of smoke (don’t worry—we’ve got buckets!).
