Home, Sweet Home?

Home Sweet Home?
One cold afternoon on October 18th, 2025, WCT gave a short performance on the Minster Green to coincide with the ending of Planet Wimborne’s Green Festival. Wimborne Community Theatre, with members of Jubilate Choir, presented an afternoon of theatre, songs and community conversations. Ideas gathered from local people in response to ‘What does Home mean to you?’ were conveyed through a series of objects chosen for their significance in people’s lives.
The public were invited to share their own stories about home and to bring a special object which held memories of Home for them. They marked where they lived on a map of the local area and reflected on what Home meant to them.
Wimborne Community Theatre’s short piece was repeated three times during the afternoon and showed how we are developing our play on the theme of HOME. We shared our own special objects with the audience and reflected on nostalgia and a sense of belonging contrasted with the experience of those who are homeless with no warm memories to draw on.
