Christmas Events in the Cotswolds
With Christmas on the way, many people will want to get away from the rush of the run up to the big day and enjoy some time in a beautiful setting to experience the joy of the countdown to Christmas. The Cotswolds is the perfect place at this time of the year – with plenty of places to stay, from cosy cottages to luxury getaways at places like this spa breaks Cotswolds based hotel https://hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/spa-breaks-cotswolds/ all in the surroundings of one of the most beautiful parts of the UK – and there are plenty of local activities to keep the whole family happy and in the festive spirit too…
Head to a Festive market – Many of the quaint Cotswold’s towns and villages host their own Christmas markets – with twinkling lights, plenty of mulled wine and a beautiful backdrop, it is a charming experience. Cirencester and Moreton in the Marsh are a couple of the places that hold festive markets.
Enjoy a Christmas Light Trail – Both kids and adults alike will enjoy the magic of a light trail after dark on a chilly December evening – and there are plenty to be found in the Cotswolds. Blenheim Palace includes an illuminated trail and Christmas shopping, and the Soudley Castle Christmas lights trail is always a popular attraction.
For a more traditional Christmas event, head to Gloucester Cathedral where you will be able to enjoy events like carols by candle light on some evenings in amongst the peace and splendour of the beautiful stone building.
