This newly created woodland events space is designed to be a magical and idyllic setting for a diverse range of activities, from well-being retreats and arts workshops to children’s parties, weddings, and musical or theatre performances.

The Glade boasts impressive features, including a dedicated stage, a dancefloor shaded by an overhead parachute canopy, a giant tipi, a cosy woodland pod, and a central firepit. Seating and a convenient catering area with spring water on tap complete this versatile outdoor venue.

The Cotswold Campfire Cookout

Throughout the summer, The Glade will be the setting of an exciting calendar of public events. On Saturday 5 July, from 6pm to 9pm, guests can enjoy a rustic culinary experience at The Cotswold Campfire Cookout.

Join professional chef and culinary tutor Gregg Brown, founder of CookSchool, for an unforgettable Cotswold Campfire Cookout experience. Guided by Gregg, a passionate sustainability advocate, you’ll use the finest local, organic, and seasonal ingredients to craft a delicious multi-course summer feast. This exclusive menu is directly inspired by the surrounding forest, meadow, and farmlands, featuring abundant wild deer, elder trees, and rainbow trout. After preparing these culinary delights with some campfire magic, you’ll relax and savour the fresh flavours as the sun sets, perfectly paired with homemade shrub and cordial drinks.
