About Warminster
Warminster is a delightful, friendly market town surrounded by beautiful countryside beneath the chalk downland. Browse the many independent shops, boutiques, and cafés all within easy walking distance to transport links and a railway station.
Warminster is known for its friendly people with a variety of community groups, clubs, arts, and entertainment to enjoy. Links to clubs and leisure facilities can be found here.
While visiting our wonderful town take time to absorb yourself in the History of Warminster and admire the many 18th and 19th century buildings on the Blue Plaque Trail which can be downloaded via the link.

When you’re ready for a change of pace take a short stroll from the town centre to visit the Warminster Lake Pleasure Grounds which has been awarded a green flag. This gem has something for everyone to enjoy, children love playing on the trim trail and state of the art skatepark and while you relax with a coffee from the Pavilion Café you can take in the views of the boating lake and abundant wildlife. If you’re feeling more energetic challenge your friends to a game of tennis (racquet hire available) or pitch and putt, then take a stroll around the lake following the Tree Trail guide available from the Pavilion Café. NEW IN 2022! An exciting space themed splash pad is landing in 2022 with 12 water features and a paddling pool with sluice gate so be sure to plan your visit and bring the whole family.
One of Warminster’s biggest and most popular events is back on Sunday May 1st 2022! Spring in the Park welcomes thousands of people for a May Day family fun event. Set in the beautiful Warminster Lake Pleasure Grounds this event attracts visitors from far and wide. Stalls line either side of the lake selling crafts and delicious produce and local charities are invited to run a fun activity stall while raising funds for a worthwhile cause. You will find plenty of treats on offer too with hot food from our sizzling barbeque, ice creams and cakes from the Pavilion Café and our ever-popular beer tent. A program of entertainment continues throughout the day the crowd-pleasing dog show has a category for every pooch or simply sit back and enjoy the acts in the arena. A visit to the donkeys at the far end of the lake is a must where children can be treated to a ride. While the park is bustling take in the peace of the lake and hire one of our rowing boats or canoes. We look forward to welcoming you back to Spring in the Park in 2022 and hope you will visit us soon. For more information on our events follow our Facebook page @warminstertowncouncil
