Bank Holiday in the Cotswolds

With the fantastic weather weve had this weekend, who isnt looking forward to the long weekend ahead! If youre spending some time in the Cotswolds, youre sure to want to make the most of your time off. La Vie en Bleu 29th 30th May Celebrate fine French automobiles at the prestigious Prescott Speed Hill Climb on Sunday. The highlight is an appearance by the Bugatti Veyron the fastest road car the world has ever seen boasting a phenomenal 978bp and an unbelievable top speed of 252mph. There will also be Daleks on the hill for Doctor Who fans and the skies will come alive thanks to an aerial display by The Breitling Wingwalkers. GWSR Festival of Steam 29th May 6th June Join in the fun as the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway celebrate its 175th anniversary by taking its first visitors over the recently re-opened Stanway Bridge for the first time in three decades. Train enthusiasts will be excited by their biggest ever display of steam locomotives, but all are sure to be impressed with the views from this viaduct. Sothebys Design exhibition at Sudeley Castle 28th May 11th June Sudeley Castle have teamed up with the prestigious auction house Sothebys to host an exciting outdoor art event this summer. Opening this fortnight, be one of the first to view Tetbury Woolsack Races 31st May A rather unique annual British event, competitors run up a steep hill in the town centre with a weighty woolsack on their back. Thats it...I challenge you to find a more macho event this bank holiday! Food and Farming Fun Day in Cirencester 31st May A fun, free day out for all the family with a farmers market, beer festival, live music, cookery demonstrations and learn from the Gloucestershire bee keepers. If you have any time left after fitting all of these events in, an afternoon stroll finished off at one of the many fantastic country pubs in the Cotswolds with a local ale or if youre anything like me, you can sense Pimms Oclock already! We still have a couple of properties available over the bank holiday weekend and beyond, into the half term week:

• Top Cottage near Stow on the Wold (Sleeps 7)
