WelcomeVisitor Information
Wimborne Minster and the Northern Villages - Active Christian congregations worshipping in historic buildings set at the heart of our communities.
For over 1300 years Wimborne Minster has been a living centre for pilgrimage, prayer, mission and worship. In 2015, we joined with the villages to the north of the town - Holt, Hinton Martell, Horton, Chalbury and Witchampton - to continue that work, and together we extend a warm and inclusive welcome to all who come through our doors. In our buildings you will find history and some significant treasures, but more than anything, they are places where people have gathered and encountered something of God's love; places (to quote T S Eliot) "where prayer has been valid". We hope you will come and discover that truth for yourself.
Highlights
Lent and Holy Week Programme
Good Friday Bun Walk to Pamphill
The annual bun walk to Pamphill will once again talk place on Good Friday afternoon starting outside Wimborne Minster soon after the end of the three hour service. The service is from 12noon until 3.00pm, the final hour being the Sung Litany. Youngsters and adults walk to Pamphill Green via what were the Cuthbury Allotments and then alongside the River Stour and up the hill to Pamphill where they will find ‘Hot Cross Buns’ growing on the trees. A tradition that now goes back over 40 years and miraculously whenever Good Friday comes round the ‘buns’ appear.
