Join us for a joyous celebration as colourful floats, festive decorations, and the one and only Santa Claus bring holiday magic to Wimborne.

This parade aims to raise awareness and funds for Save the Children. Bring your family and friends to witness this heartwarming spectacle.

This year the Parade will start at 2.00pm from Eaton's (formerly Cobham's) car park in Brook Road and will proceed into the Town via Leigh Road and Rodways Corner as it has normally done in the past. The organisers are grateful to Eaton's for accommodating the start of the Parade.

The Parade will then enter the Town via Park Lane, East Street, King Street and West Street and into the Town Square at around 3.00pm. It will proceed along the High Street and back on to King Street where the floats will disembark. As usual, Father Christmas will stop at the Museum of East Dorset where he will remain with his sack of presents. Children will be welcome to visit him there and receive a (free) small gift.

In the morning, from 10.00am, a Fun Fair will be held in the Square. As well as a carousel and boat swings there will be face-painting, live music and other attractions
