Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd November 2025
Allendale Centre , Wimborne
This autumn, the Dorset Team is proud to bring back its much-loved Autumn Fair to the heart of Wimborne. Taking place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd November 2025 at the Allendale Centre, the fair will feature 60 stalls each day, showcasing some of the very best makers, artists, and independent businesses from across Dorset and the South West.
The Dorset Team is the local ETSY team for Dorset so expect a vibrant mix of stalls and quality handmade crafts. Our fairs are a rare chance for visitors to shop in person from a carefully curated line-up of Etsy makers and other creatives, discovering unique products you won’t find on the high street.
Curated, Independent, and Local
Each of the 60 stalls has been selected to create a balanced and inspiring mix of crafts. Visitors can expect to find:
-
Contemporary jewellery – from statement pieces to delicate everyday wear
-
Homewares and ceramics – handcrafted pottery and woodwork
-
Textiles and knitwear – cosy accessories, handmade clothing, and decorative items
-
Prints, art, and illustration – original works and affordable prints by local artists
-
Gifts and seasonal decorations – perfect for those looking ahead to Christmas shopping
-
Artisan food and drink – locally made treats to enjoy on the day or take home
With such a wide variety, there’s something for everyone – whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift, looking to treat yourself, or simply want to soak up the atmosphere and support Dorset’s creative community.
Supporting Dorset’s Creative Economy
The Dorset Team Autumn Fair isn’t just a shopping event; it’s a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community. By choosing to buy from local makers, visitors are supporting independent businesses and helping to sustain Dorset’s thriving creative economy.
