Cotswolds Hotels are directly involved in interesting events sometimes, hosting opera's in their grounds and holding small local fetes and competitions. Of particular note is the opera held in Painswick most years, out in the open air beneath the stars.
Sometimes the Cotswolds Hotels also partake in events by way of supporting them and hosting their visitors. Every year for example there are two horse fairs held in Stow on the Wold, in May and October. The events spill out onto the streets of Stow with gypsy's meeting year after year in order to trade horses.
The area will be spotted with traditional caravans, often taking residence on laybys and corners of the highway, where nobody else would dream of taking up a stay.
Gypsy's can be seen leading their rural life, boiling kettles and tending their horses. Visitors to Cotsawold Hotels will be able to talk quite easily with the gypsy's who drink and attend the hostelries.
Residents staying near the Westonbirt Arboretum are in for a treat at Autumn when the Maple trees sport their annual display of vibrant colours.
