pre-loved rainbow trail
Wimborne’s Pre-LOVEd Rainbow Trail has been created to encourage sustainable shopping choices. Buying second-hand reduces both the use of resources to make something new and the disposal of throwaway items, often to landfill. Making sustainable spending decisions is one of the most important things we can do to care for our planet.
The Pre-LOVEd Trail is one of many trails created by Planet Wimborne for Wimborne Town of Culture 2026, and to endure into the future as a legacy.
