belonging: our search for home
a magical journey through the landscape of kingston lacy
22–27 september 2026 | kingston lacy, wimborne
A fair full of secrets. A landscape full of noises.
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.
This September, Wimborne Community Theatre in association with Wimborne Town of Culture 2026 presentsBelonging: Our Search for Home – a powerful new outdoor theatre production created by and for the local community.
Set within the landscape of Kingston Lacy, audiences will be guided on a magical and immersive journey through stories of Wimborne’s past and present, asking:
Is home a place or a feeling...?
