THE Discover Wimborne initiative returns for its third year in April.

Organised by the Wimborne Business Improvement District (BID), the programme includes numerous events and activities from different businesses across the town.

This year promises historic tours, fashion shows, live music, craft fairs and even brewing experiences. Many of the activities, held almost every day throughout April, will be free.

Wimborne BID manager Simon Thomas said: "Discover Wimborne is now a long-running programme of events and it is wonderful to see a range of Wimborne businesses getting involved.

"Some participants have been involved since the first Discover Wimborne, with some businesses participating for the first time this year.

"Wimborne is home to many unique independent shops which offer excellent service and welcome people who enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly experience."
