Welcome to Sherborne
If you are visiting Sherborne, welcome, and we hope you enjoy your time here. There are a host of good reasons to visit Sherborne and Dorset all year round – visit our information page for more about the town.
Eat & Drink locally
Sherborne has so many great places to eat and drink, offering something for everyone. From a takeaway panini to a locally-sourced a la carte dinner, a frothy cappucino to a local beer… there’s plenty of places to enjoy.
Explore the County
Sherborne is perfectly placed to explore all that Dorset has to offer, so why not stay a while and venture out and about to the surrounding countryside, Dorset towns and Jurassic Coast. See our ideas for days out and places to stay.
