You’re invited to our Global Fair
We’d love you to join us for this fun, free event, to celebrate culture, creativity, community – and all things fair!
When: Saturday, 27th June, 11 am to 4 pm
Where: Walford Mill, Wimborne, BH21 1NL
As part of this year’s Town of Culture celebrations, the Global Fair brings together the rich diversity of Dorset through an inspiring mix of music, dance, food, and activities. Whether you’re coming with family, friends, or your school community, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Come and experience lively performances, discover new flavours, get creative, and connect with others in a warm and inclusive setting. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Discover cultures, share traditions, and learn about the environment at our free, family-friendly Global Fair. Enjoy a day of global celebration with West African storytelling and music from Noah Messomo, a samba drumming workshop with Miki Cruz, and Indian dancing with BPC Indian Community for the whole family to enjoy.
Free children’s arts and crafts activities will run throughout the day, led by the Dorset Ukrainian Community, BPC Indian Community, and Caroline Parrott from Walford Mill.
Local schools, including Wimborne First School, Allenbourn Middle School, and Queen Elizabeth's School, will showcase students’ work focused on caring for the environment, promoting biodiversity, and helping tackle climate change.
Be sure to visit DEED’s stall, filled with culturally diverse storybooks, as well as FairGround Shop’s wonderful selection of Fairtrade goodies.
You’ll also have the chance to meet inspiring local and global environmental organisations, including Planet Wimborne and Wimborne and Colehill Fair Trade Community Group, and discover ways to get involved in protecting our planet.
In between activities, you can enjoy delicious food and drinks from Little Pickle at the Mill.
This event is part of Wimborne Town of Culture 2026.
