FESTIVALS

Come to a festival or a show!

Each year Winchcombe hosts a number of festivals,  and a popular Country Show.

The Walking Festival takes place 16th to 18th May 2025 and invites you to lace up your boots and explore our walking trails on a guided walk from Winchcombe, the walking capital of the Cotswolds. The annual three-day event is run by Winchcombe Welcomes Walkers and attracts hundreds of people from across the UK and beyond. Booking is essential.

Giffords Circus is a vintage village green circus that tours the UK every summer.  Having first visited Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe in 2014 they have returned every year since.  Packed full of fun, enchantment and skill we look forward to welcoming them again from 9th to 19th May 2025.

The Midsummer Music & Arts Festival is taking a break this year but we hope this annual extravaganza filled with unforgettable moments of music, art, and laughter will return in 2026.

Now in its 3rd year, Party in the Park will take place on 28th June 2025 and is a free family-friendly music festival! Organised by local talent and supported by Winchcombe and surrounding areas, this event has proven to be a great day of live music, community spirit, and fun.

During the weekend of 18th to 20th July 2025, you can sample an array of real ales at the Cotswold Beer Festival which has been running for more than 40 years at the historic Postlip Hall, just outside Winchcombe.

On August Bank Holiday Monday it’s the annual Winchcombe Show, a great family day out packed with entertainment, stalls, dog agility, arena displays and a show marquee brimming with blooms, crafts, cakes, art and vegetables.

The 2025 Winchcombe Christmas Festival will be held over 2 days; Friday 5th and Saturday 6th December. Scores of stalls laden with gifts, festive food, shops open late, carol singing and live music to really get you into the Christmas spirit. Like and follow the event on facebook.
