Friends of Wimborne Minster Folk Festival

Support the Festival. Be part of Something Special.

The Wimborne Minster Folk Festival is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led community event, welcoming around 70,000 visitors each year and celebrating folk music, dance, arts and culture in the heart of Dorset.

Putting on a festival of this scale costs around £90,000, and every pound raised goes directly into making the event safe, inclusive, accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

By becoming a Friend of the Folk Festival, you are helping to secure the future of this much-loved event and ensuring it continues to thrive for generations to come. We can display your name and message on this website and on the large screen at Willow Walk for a minimum donation of £100.

Have your name/business name and short message (if you wish) displayed here until the end of the Festival, and on the screen at Willow Walk during the Festival weekend.
