Join Emerald Ant and the Saucepan Ponies for a playful, creative exploration of what ‘home’ means to each of us.

Inspired by ideas and stories gathered from local people, these free drop-in workshops invite you to help bring the Saucepan Ponies to life – making hobby horses and hats, creating songs and getting ready for a very special Pony Parade through Leigh Park.

Workshop dates:
Tuesday 11 August, 10.30am–12.30pm and 2–4pm
Thursday 20 August, 10.30am–12.30pm and 2–4pm

Location: Leigh Park Family Hub, Gordon Rd, Wimborne BH21 2AP
Cost: FREE
Booking: No booking required – just drop in.

Everyone is also invited to join the Saucepan Ponies Pony Parade on Thursday 27 August, 6–8pm, dressing up and following the ponies on a wonderful wander around the streets of Leigh Park.

A rehearsal will take place on Wednesday 26 August, 2–5pm for anyone who can make it, but you can still join the parade if you’re unable to attend the rehearsal.

The Saucepan Ponies are created and delivered by Emerald Ant as part of HOME, Wimborne Town of Culture 2026’s landmark creative project exploring our relationship with home and what it means to each of us.
