Opening of the Wimborne Green Festival on Saturday 12th October

16 Oct 2024

On Saturday we were out on the Minster Green to perform a short piece on RIVERS after the Planet Wimborne Green Festival was officially opened by Vicki Slade MP and the Town Mayor, Jeff Hart.

We dug into our archives to select pieces written by local people and schoolchildren from Allenbourn Middle School on the theme of Rivers.  This was part of our research when we were working on the project Our Rivers Run through Us from 2019 - 2022.   

Members of the group read a selection of poems and memories before leading a procession to The Square.

Read all the contributions from Allenbourn School.

Read the thoughts and memories of local residents here.

There is still time to enjoy the Green Festival.  Planet Wimborne's programme lists all the events of the festival.
