Exciting opportunity for you to help design the new Wimborne Reusable Cup!

Festivals and events can produce a lot of plastic waste. To tackle this we have teamed up the Wimborne Folk Festival organisers, the Town Council, Wimborne BID, Wimborne War on Waste and the majority of pubs in the town to launch the reusable Wimborne Cup at this year's Folk Festival. The Wimborne Cup can then be used for any other events in the town.

"We live in a beautiful town that is known for its environmental credentials including achieving ‘Plastic Free Community’ status in 2018. The introduction of the Wimborne Cup is a great way for the town to cut down plastic waste." Sarah, WWoW

Now the public have the chance to help design the artwork for the cup so that it reflects the town's historic achievements and landmarks. Local artist, Becky Dodd of Doddy Design, has been commissioned to produce the design for the cup.

Becky said, "I'm so excited to be producing the artwork for the Wimborne Cup and really want to know what the public want to see on the cup. You just need to go to my Doddy Design website https://doddydesign.com/wimborne-cup-questionnaire to leave your ideas by Friday 31st January”. Becky will then produce three iconic designs and the public will then have the opportunity to vote on their favourite.

Katherine Valenti, Landlady of The Green Man and chair of Wimborne Pubwatch, a group of publicans who come together to share information, said "We are 100% behind this scheme and see it as a great way for the pubs of Wimborne to help cut plastic waste."
