FESTIVALS

Come to a festival or a show!

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

In April we step back in time for the nostalgic Wartime in the Cotswolds weekend at GWR (Great Western Railway) and Broadway that sees scores of visitors and enactors in authentic ‘40s dress.

The 2024 Walking Festival was held in May. The annual three-day event is run by Winchcombe Welcomes Walkers and attracts hundreds of people from across the UK and beyond.

The Midsummer Music & Arts Festival is an annual extravaganza filled with unforgettable moments bringing the magic of music, art, and laughter.  This year, the town came alive with the irresistible charm of our festival from foot-tapping band gigs in our lively pubs to enchanting Shakespeare-themed events in cozy private gardens and this year promises to be even more exciting. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Later in July, 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 2024 Winchcombe Christmas Festival will be held over 2 days; Friday 6th and Saturday 7th 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.
