    Hiking

    The gardens were opened as a public garden on 5 September 1906. There is a band stand in the middle of the gardens which is still used for concerts in the summer.

    Unfortunately dogs are not allowed in the gardens.

    Hiking

    The Pageant Gardens bandstand is the spiritual home of "aggressively pleasant" afternoons. Built to commemorate the 1905 Sherborne Pageant—a massive theatrical flex involving 900 locals in tights—this octagonal masterpiece is where brass bands go to battle the sound of falling leaves.
    ​It’s the ultimate Victorian stage for looking dignified while holding a tuba. Surrounded by pristine lawns and flowerbeds that would make a perfectionist weep, the bandstand serves as a reminder that nothing says "British Summer" like listening to The Liberty Bell while your ice cream melts at a record-breaking 18^\circ\text{C}. Pure, unadulterated whimsy.
