Sherborne Castle Country Fair

The Sherborne Castle Country Fair presents a rich and fun programme of events, country activities, stands and entertainment including one of the largest Rare Breed Shows in the country.

For one day each year, one of the finest settings with its spectacular grounds and lake surrounding Sherborne Castle is transformed into a fun packed Country Fair with attractions, entertainment & activities for all the family.

The Fair was started by a small group of volunteers, in 1996, with the aim of raising money for local charities, especially those working with children.

To date the committee, still run by volunteers, has raised £990,180 to local charities and support groups.

The aim of the organisers has always been to offer good value for money to visitors and supporters alike.

Because Sherborne Castle Country Fair is run by volunteers, it has low overheads and offers a fantastic family day out for any size pocket.
