Another small step on the journey out of lockdown will come this week when the grounds of Sherborne Castle are opened to the public again.
Three months ago TSP visited Sherborne Castle to hear how they were preparing for a new season open to the public. A week later the castle closed their gates as the public were ordered to stay at home to combat COVID-19.
As the lockdown restrictions are eased, the castle gates will be opened again on Thursday and people will be allowed in to walk in the gardens and grounds although the castle, shop and tea room will remain shuttered.
You can find admission times, ticket prices and guidance on staying safe here.
Sherborne Castle was built by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 16th century and has been owned by the Wingfield Digby family since 1617. Maria Wingfield Digby talks to TSP in the gardens of the castle.
