Choose your adventure

A little local magic

Fairytale Farm brings together animals, sensory gardens and storybook fun just outside Chipping Norton.

A wild day out

Make a day of Cotswold Wildlife Park, where rhinos graze before a grand old house and curious young explorers can roam for hours.

Curtain up

Catch a family show, film or festive favourite at The Theatre Chipping Norton, one of the town’s brightest little treasures.

Palaces, legends and big skies

Spend a storybook day in the parkland and grand rooms of Blenheim Palace, or make up your own legends among the ancient Rollright Stones.

The joy of staying in

Not every adventure needs a ticket. Let the children play in the garden while lunch lingers, then curl up with books and toys before a family supper around the round dining table. Ask Viv to have the travel cot ready for your arrival.

A cottage day counts too: slow breakfasts, garden games, a bubbly bath and nowhere else to be.

Make some Cotswold memories

Tell Viv who is coming and she will help make the cottage feel ready for the whole family.
