Belonging: Our Search for Home

A teenager about to leave Wimborne. An old man with something still unsaid. The legends of the gardens walk among us, with their stories to tell. Everyone's looking for somewhere to belong. In this compelling and dreamlike production, discover Kingston Lacy with the people who once called it home. An unforgettable experience inspired by Wimborne’s past and present. With a cast of adults and young people, ‘Belonging’ celebrates 35 years of Wimborne Community Theatre creating locally made site-specific theatre, inspired by the environment of East Dorset and the lives of people, past and present. The performance starts at 7pm, but we invite you to explore our interactive fair from 6.30pm, the gates open at 6.15pm. Carers/companions accompanying a paying adult, and children under 3 are free. We have included some FAQs below to help you plan, these can also be found in full on the Wimborne Community Theatre website.
