What we do
Artists and writers
Sterne's legacy, as well as to delight millions of readers, has been to stimulate writers and artists of all disciplines to produce new work. This continues to this day, and The Laurence Sterne Trust aims to foster this creativity.
Exhibitions and events
The Laurence Sterne Trust holds regular events and exhibitions to promote interest in and enjoyment of Laurence Sterne and his work.
Residencies
In partnership with other organisations, or when funding is acquired for such projects, The Laurence Sterne Trust can host residencies for artists, academics or other researchers on site.
Education and learning
A very wide range of educational activities are supported and run by The Laurence Sterne Trust, ranging from workshops and events for the public to visits by academic establishments of all levels.
International work
The Trust has promoted Laurence Sterne with interested parties all over the world, and forged particular links with the USA, Japan, and Germany.
Maintaining Shandy Hall
Shandy Hall is a 600-year-old Grade I listed building, and requires a great amount of care, attention (and funds) to preserve and maintain it.
