The Board of Wimborne History Festival is sad to announce that, due to the necessary restrictions surrounding COVID-19, this year’s festival has had to be postponed.
We hope to return, with our Georgian theme, in July 2021, but further announcements will be made later in the year. We would like to thank all those involved for their support, we hope you will join us again next year. In the meantime please stay safe and well.
