Support the Festival

Proceeds from ticket sales cover the costs of staging the Festival. Our ability to provide grants towards Sherborne music and musicians arises largely from the generosity of our patrons, our sponsors and other donations. Read on to discover some of the ways in which you can support the Festival.

There are many other ways in which volunteers can help, including assisting with the distribution of Festival brochures. If you’d like to find out more about the various ways in which you can give your time then we’d love to hear from you, please contact: hello@sherborneabbeyfestival.org or call the Patron Coordinator on 07526 947642
