Local charity visitor attraction Wimborne Model Town featured in Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out, pictured above, as a prelude to reopening for its 70th anniversary season at 10am on April 2.
The programme highlighted miniature residents, The Wareham Bears, and a tour with Susan Calman inside the 20-tonne 1/10th scale miniature Minster.
Volunteers have been working hard over the winter months developing a new Model of the Model Town, an extended Crazy Golf layout and a refurbished home for the Wareham Bears.
Manager Nick Clark said: “The Model Town is marking seven decades of family fun with the position of the new mini-town reflecting our original life-size location back in 1952.”
A noisy opening is predicted with Chris Brown the Town Crier and members of the Wimborne Militia in attendance with Sir William and Lady Ali Hanham officiating.
