Sherborne Castle Country Fair Statement
Initial results and analysis of ticket sales and attendance numbers at the Fair on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2026 were, unfortunately, disappointing. The Show Committee will meet later in the month to consider the financial distribution to the Fair’s chosen charities after which payments will proceed as planned.
In the meantime, the Directors have concluded that the continuing decline in visitor numbers since the Fair returned in 2022 after the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as increased governance costs, raise questions about the financial viability of the Fair.
In the best interests of this much-loved event, it has been decided that planning for next year’s Fair will pause while options are considered.
