It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a valued member of the Family Fest team, Amy.

She more than just a team member - she was a friend, a familiar face, and someone who played an important part in making our festival what it is. Her kindness, dedication, and support will never be forgotten, and she will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her continued support, love and dedication to local club AFC Bournemouth as a steward and a fan was like no other, supporting the football team even to only a few weeks ago.

Our thoughts, love, and deepest condolences are with her family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for everything you gave to Family Fest. Your memory will always be a part of our festival, and you will never be forgotten ❤️

Julians Bridge temporary traffic lights from 26th May 2026 for 6 weeks ⚠️🚥

As part of the new traffic management, which is to provide safety for pedestrians and provide easier accessibility to Wimborne Minster from Corfe Mullen and surrounding areas, we expect traffic delays at peak times across the Family Fest festival weekend and also for Meadows Campsite for the Wimborne Minster Folk Festival weekend.

For those attending Family Fest or staying at Meadows Campsite, delays should be expected during peak daytime traffic particulary in morning and afternoon rush hours Monday to Friday, and also peak afternoon times Saturday and Sunday, due to congestion from the temporary traffic lights in place.

The Julian’s Bridge trial is part of a broader initiative by Dorset Council to improve safety and infrastructure, especially for larger events like Family Fest and Wimborne Minster Folk Festival and this trial is to provide key information for a more permanent signal approach in the future.
