Each year, our club creates a pop-up cinema in Sherborne featuring some of the best film from international cinema. The four day festival takes place in mid-late October and is held at The Powell Theatre, Sherborne.
This year, We are really looking forward to presenting four days of excellent foreign film entertainment and hope that you will join us. The 17th Sherborne International Film Festival will be held from Thu 16 to Sun 19 October 2024 at the Powell Theatre, Abbey Road, Sherborne. The festival featured seven multi-award-winning foreign films including work from China, Japan, France, South Korea and Columbia .
Rotary is at the heart of every community. Wherever there is a town or a city, there is a Rotary club and members are passionate about the communities in which they live and work. This is very much the way our members feel about our community of Sherborne, and as a community which has many schools, much of what we do in the town centres around young people.
Thankfully for most of us travelling to work, school or to the shops is an uneventful journey, but children crossing the Milo River in the rainy season to get to school have been risking their lives for years. In 2011 alone, four children died trying to cross the stream, which becomes a fast flowing river in the rainy season.
We are People of Action - Sherborne Castles Rotary Club is rooted within our own community, but with a global outlook, ready to tackle challenges at home and abroad.
Our Events
Here are some of our events that not only raise funds for both local and international causes, but also provide much valued entertainment for the Sherborne Community.
Your chance to catch up with some of the best foreign films. There is a mixture of drama, action, comedy, thriller and tragedy, sometimes many found in one movie. The Festival not only provides the community of Sherborne with the opportunity to see foreign films which would not otherwise be shown locally, but also to raise funds for charity.
Now in its 18th year, Classic & Supercars can now be regarded as one of the premier classics and supercar shows in the South of England with upwards of 2,000 cars on display, from veterans to the latest supercars.
An annual charitable event held in the magnificent setting of Sherborne School Courts that starts with a drive around the Dorset countryside and finishes back at the school where vehicles are judged and admired by visitors.
