The Sherborne is guided by a dedicated team of trustees who bring expertise, passion, and commitment to every aspect of our work.

At The Sherborne, they ensure the preservation of our historic house, support our cultural and educational programmes, and help shape a vibrant future for our exhibitions, gardens, and community initiatives. Their stewardship is central to keeping The Sherborne a place where heritage, creativity, and community come together.
