There are always two or three themed exhibitions featuring the mountains, landscapes and peoples of all seven continents. These change every four months.

A really nice free activity in Sherborne. There is no admission charge and once inside I felt no pressure by the lady working there to purchase anything. There are lots of interesting photographs so even if you don't have a chance to see them all (there are two rooms) then you can break it up into a couple of visits and it looked like the exhibitions change fairly regularly (there were three when I was there and they were advertising upcoming ones).
A good selection of photographs - some people, some wildlife and some mountains. In other words, something for everyone.
I'll definitely pop in there again when I'm in Sherborne with some time to spare.

There are a ridiculous number of images so that you cannot take them all in with one visit. That is not a problem as the gallery is well located in Sherbourne so you can easily pop in when passing.

This charming and friendly gallery in the heart of Sherborne is a delight to visit. Needless to say, Michael Bromfield has produced spectacular and beautiful images of his adventurous travels; many of his photographs are breath-taking, displaying a genuine affinity with his subjects. This exhibition whets your appetite for the next visit.

It's not what you'd expect to find in a small market town, but the Global Images gallery takes you from rural Dorset into the Himalaya and the Alps and other high places in - between.
Relaxed atmosphere, no pretentiousness and affordable imagery, ( if you feel like it ), that also donates to a worthy cause.
Well worth a visit.

The Gallery showed such high quality photographs. The scenic views of mountain ranges and of Antarctica were stunning and the temples / people of Tibet and Nepal captured the vibrancy of life there to a tee. The photographs brought back loads of special memories to me. Well worth a visit.

I have visited this gallery a few times now. Good variety of photographs, especially liked the close-ups of people and the Antarctic photographs. I believe the exhibition has changed recently so a new selection to see. There are a lot of photographs to take in. Worth a visit and Sherborne itself is a lovely town on the Somerset/Dorset border.

If you are a lover of travel images, this is a must-visit attraction in Sherbourne. Sherbourne is a beautiful small English town and the Global Images Gallery is an amazing addition. I come to Sherbourne to work in our sister office and I was last there in mid December 2012. I found the gallery at lunch while wandering up the High Street. What a hidden gem!
Clearly the photographer has a real passion for travel, scenery, and people. I really enjoyed the images that featured native peoples. A completely different way of life, but always smiling and looking as content as anyone on the planet.
I am excited to see what exhibitions will be on during my next visit to Sherbourne. I strongly recommend that any visitors or locals make a stop in the Gallery, you will not be disappointed!

There are so many beautifully shot photos of some of the most breath-taking locations in the world. My personal favourite were in the collection of Antarctica. I highly recommend a visit if you happen to be in Sherborne
