After a pandemic-enforced pause, Sherborne Douzelage is delighted to announce the return of its Young Musicians Competition on Friday 14th February 2026.

The event will take place at the Gransden Hall, The Merritt Centre, Sherborne Girls School, and is held in collaboration with all schools across the Sherborne area. Alongside local entrants, this year’s competition will also welcome a small number of young musicians from Sherborne’s Douzelage twin towns across Europe, promising an engaging and inspiring musical gathering.
Finalists will perform in an evening concert, with the overall winner invited to appear at the Sherborne Abbey Music Festival in May. All young musicians in the Sherborne area are encouraged to apply.
