Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike.
