Programme details

The Venice of the Cotswolds, Bourton-on-the-Water hosts a wealth of attractions and shops, restaurants and tea rooms, or simply the space for you to enjoy some tranquil time by the River Windrush, spanned by its five arched bridges.  There is a famous Model Village to the wonders of the rare breeds at Birdland, to sampling local beer or taking a trip through time at the Motoring Museum, you’ll find so much to discover in Bourton-on-the-Water.  And further afield there is Crocodiles of the world, Burford, Oxford and many more attractions. The site has easy access to the river.  There will be time to relax and have fun together with social events to be confirmed.

The 'plan' for the Week is as follows:

Thursday 28th March

All arrivals will be welcomed with tea and coffee and hot cross buns - My awning will hopefully be up with the urn going so please come and get a drink and hot cross bun. I will have cups so if you need a drink after a nightmare journey (which won't happen!) please feel free to grab a drink before setting up. The Urn will move to the canteen for the rest of the week so please feel free to bring cups over with you in the evenings if you want hot drinks.

The canteen will be open in the evening for a get together.

A picture round quiz will be on the tables for anyone that wants to give it a try but not compulsory!

Friday 29th March

Evening: Come and join us for Easter bonnet decoration making (please bring scissors and your own bonnet if you wish) and Easter cupcake making - we have all the decorations and individual cakes but feel free to bring your own and own cakes if you want to bring your own cakes. There will of course be prizes for bonnets and cakes – the best and the worst and some in between!

Saturday 30th March

Evening: We are off to the races!!!

8 races, a raffle and disco.

£1 a bet - payouts will be dependent on how many bets are made. The profit from the races will be for our charity which is the Animal Welfare Trust.
