Since 2018, Family Fest has welcomed thousands of families to one of the best family festivals in Wimborne annually, with the 2026 festival taking place on the 29th May to 1st June 2026 at The Meadows, Julians Road, Wimborne, Dorset!

 

We welcome a selection of offerings for the whole family across our 12 acres of working farmland, including local businesses, produce and fresh food, live music from solo artists and bands, family activities for all ages, children's shows, a funfair and loads more.

 

The festival is curated and delivered by a small team of festival creators. The festival has grown year after year, creating magical memories for families, with the festival bringing over 12,500 people together across seven main live festivals and 10,000 people together across one virtual festival, with visitors from across the UK, USA, Ukraine, France, Spain and the world.

 

2026 is set to welcome a new era for the festival including growing our family campsite, a special family campers' only evening on Friday, live music on main stage and our farmside stage, food and drink, a boost in family activities for all ages, a larger funfair and other additions to be announced in due course, bringing together many generations into a safe, vibrant and creative world of what we call, Family Fest.​​​
