Sherborne Area Tourism Forum brings together a wide range of people and organisations from Sherborne, the surrounding area and further afield who want to increase the potential of Sherborne as a tourist destination.
With ArtsLink's recently announced £365,000 Lottery Funding over 3 years to enable it to work with up to 25 year olds in association with a number of local organisations, Sherborne Community Arts Centre in the offing as well as an exciting new vision for Sherborne House as a Regional Arts Exhibition Centre plus many other initiatives designed to make Sherborne even more attractive as for visitors as well as for local residents, there is a great deal going on in the town.
New members are always welcome, so contact us for more information. Our last meeting was on Thursday 25th October in the Council Chamber, The Manor House, Newland when we discussed a number of local initiatives including the Sherborne Tourism Plan and the work of the Steering Group set up by Sherborne Town Council to plan a wide range of events for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June next year.
