JULY
4th Sherston Boules Festival – Saturday 4 July 2026
Please note that in 2026, the Sherston Boules Festival will take place one week earlier than usual, on Saturday 4th July, instead of our traditional weekend closest to Bastille Day.
This change has been made due to a scheduling clash with the RHS Flower Show at Badminton, which will be held on 8th - 12th July over the weekend we would typically host the festival.
We’ve made the decision to move the Boules Festival to avoid this overlap and ensure that both events can be enjoyed by the community.
We’re looking forward to another fantastic day in Sherston and look forward to seeing you there.
