Just when you think a Sunday can’t get any more special… our first market of the year falls on Mother’s Day! ✨

We’re so excited to be back – and having had a little sneak peek at what some of our traders have been busy creating over the winter, we think you’re in for a real treat. 😊

So come on down, support some brilliant small businesses, and help us celebrate the return of our monthly markets! 🥳

🗓 Sunday 15th March | 10am–3pm

Our Grounds Maintenance Team has been working at the Terrace Playing Fields on the continuation of fencing to the existing dog walk, as well as making it a safer route for all that use it.

Rabbit proof fencing has been added to assist in keeping the rabbits off the sports pitches!

Due to vandalism at the site, some of the water features in Pageant Gardens have been removed for repair work to take place.

We are expecting this to be finished and the area back up and running again by the end of April.

If you have any questions about this please call 01935 812807 or email info@sherborne-tc.gov.uk.

Sherborne Town Council is excited to announce the planned redevelopment of two iconic telephone kiosks, one on Cheap Street and one in Newland Gardens.

We are committed to preserving and reimagining public spaces for the benefit of all residents and visitors. We therefore invite residents, businesses, and community groups to share their ideas and suggestions for transforming these historic kiosks to best serve our town's needs.

Potential uses could include community information points, mini-libraries, art installations, or other innovative functions that reflect local character and creativity.

A public consultation is now running and will close on Friday 13th March 2026.

Ideas and feedback can be submitted by emailing
info@sherborne-tc.gov.uk or visiting our offices at The Manor House, Newland, between 10am and 2pm Monday to Friday.

“These kiosks are a unique part of our street scene,” said Steve Shield, Town Clerk. “We want to ensure their next chapter is shaped by the community.”

For more information or if you have any questions, please call 01935 812807.

We look forward to receiving your ideas.
