Fairy Door Trail

Saturday 25th July - Sunday 30th August

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.

Prizes will be available from the ticket box at the end of the trail. Fancy dress is very much welcomed.
