Christmas in the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds at Christmas is peak cosy: twinkly market towns, pub fires, winter walks (when it’s crisp), and festive attractions. Use this page to build a simple winter day plan.
Festive highlights
Plan your day
- Go early for lights/markets to avoid peak crowds.
- Check parking plans—some events use park-and-ride.
- Finish with a long, cosy meal (book ahead).
Local tip
When you’ve picked your shortlist, check the map and cluster your day. The Cotswolds rewards slow travel — one area per day tends to feel better than racing around.
