A Weekend in the Cotswolds 2026

Date: 2nd – 4th January 2026
Base Location: Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire
Price: £40
Overview: This is a weekend of walking and community in January, based in the Cotswolds town of Bourton-on-the-Water, pictured above.

Bourton is known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ for its five bridges which cross the River Windrush which runs through its centre.

We'll also be visiting the famous village of Broadway, known for its picturesque high street and stunning backdrop, on the Saturday, and the famous village of Bibury and its most photographed Arlington Row cottages on the Sunday.

You’ll need to arrange your own accommodation for the Friday and Saturday nights.
