Fairy Door Trail

Hidden among the trees of Sherborne Castle and Gardens, the fairy door trail feels like stepping into a storybook. Tiny doors nestled in roots, walls, and tree trunks invite curious visitors to imagine secret lives within. Each door is uniquely decorated, sparking wonder in children and adults alike. The trail winds gently through the peaceful gardens, with birdsongs and rustling leaves adding to the magic. It encourages slow exploration, playful discovery, and moments of quiet enchantment, making it a charming highlight of any visit to the gardens. Perfect for families, it blends nature, creativity, and imagination beautifully together.

7:00 pm Choir Practice St John's, Milborne Port St John's Choir members meet most Fridays in St John's Church from 7 to about 8pm to rehearse hymns and anthems for the following Sunday. For Holy Communion services the choir normally sings two hymns during communion, but occasionally sings an anthem instead of one of the hymns. New members in all voice parts (SATB) would be very welsome. For more information on the choir please see St John's Choir page
