Situated in the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside, Tewkesbury offers historic charm and modern attractions. We explore the town's medieval streets or relax by the riverside before continuing to Chavenage House, a historic Elizabethan manor known for its fascinating history and architectural beauty.

We then head back to our hotel for some free time and after an early dinner, we journey to Gloucester Cathedral for our evening concert, Belshazzar’s Feast.

Today begins with a visit to Broadway, a picturesque village known for its charming streets lined with honey-coloured stone buildings, boutique shops and art galleries and is often referred to as the 'Jewel of the Cotswolds'. Our visit here is the ideal opportunity to stop for a coffee in one of the quaint cafés and admire the views.

Our next stop is the Painswick Rococo Garden, a unique and historic garden nestled in the Gloucestershire countryside. Famous for its whimsical design and vibrant displays, the garden showcases the Rococo style with its playful architecture, winding paths and colourful flowerbeds. We enjoy a guided tour to learn more about this enchanting place.

Afterwards, we head back to our hotel for a Sunday roast dinner and to change for our evening concert at Gloucester Cathedral, to see Vespers – a wonderful end to our delightful itinerary.

We depart our hotel after breakfast and begin our return journey.
