Ground
Wimborne Town play their games at The Cuthbury, Cowgrove Road, Wimborne BH21 4EL.
Floodlights, the construction of a perimeter wall and new changing rooms were all constructed in 1981. The clubhouse extension was built in 2001 and was opened by local footballing legend Alan Ball.
One of the distinguishing features of the ground is a 30ft vertically inflated character affectionately called Mr. Magpie, which the phrase "The Maggies" is also the popular nickname of the club.
