We recently discovered a long forgotten chutney recipe, handwritten on a scrap of card, by a Mrs. Miles in June 1889. It's been recreated exclusively for us and is now available in our shop, a delicious taste of the past! #Foodie #recipes #VisitDorset

Fascinating evening learning about the pageant movement - which started in Sherborne! Some lovely objects on display from @SherborneMuseum and informative talk and film from @Pageantry_AHRC #museums #heritage #community
On Tuesday 16th May, we'll be hosting a screening of 'Restaging the Past: The Story of Historical Pageants,' a new film from King's College London and Windrose Rural Media Trust. Includes talks and a Q&A session with the film makers. For more details: eventbrite.com/e/restaging-t…
Huge thanks to all those who supported our fundraising event last night, held in collaboration with @Pageantry_AHRC. Donations amounted to a spectacular £685, which helps to ensure that the Sherborne Museum can continue its important work within the community.
An enthusiastic audience of 150 people joined us at the Digby Hall to watch the screening of a new documentary film charting the historical pageants movement in Britain, of which the Sherborne Pageant of 1905 was the instigator.
