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
Advent and Christmas Services
Shoppers Carol Service,
Saturday 15th December at 11.00am
The Annual Shoppers Carol Service will last for half an hour. It will be the first time the Service has been conducted by the Reverend Andrew Rowland who arrived in September as the Rector of Wimborne Minster and the Northern Villages. It will however be the fifth year for the Service which is growing in popularity.
Take a half-hour break from the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping to rest and reflect on what Christmas is all about. Hear the story, sing your favourite carols and enjoy this special opportunity to help Wimborne celebrate Christmas - adults and children together. All will be very welcome.
A minor folk Orchestra (AmfO) will be playing in the Minster for an hour before the service. So come early and get in the mood.
