Summer fun in the gardens at Wimborne’s Old Market Village

New homeowners and local retirees were welcomed to enjoy a summer party in the sunshine at the Old Market Village  to celebrate the success of this new addition to the truly wonderful town of Wimborne. Guests were treated to live music courtesy of Lauren and Leanne from the Timeless Singers, plus drinks, a buffet and chance to explore the gorgeous gardens.
