Golden Hour at the Cotswold Sculpture Park

As the sun begins to set, the Cotswold Sculpture Park transforms into a peaceful landscape of glowing sculptures, soft evening light, and a cacophony of bird song. It’s the perfect time for a wander, a quiet moment, and capturing the magic of the sculpture park at its most atmospheric. Come and experience the beauty of Golden Hour with us on the first Friday of every month. With our pop-up bar and food served from our tearoom, this is the perfect way to spend a summers evening with friends in the Cotswolds. For more details visit the Cotswold Sculpture Park website.

It still has working farms, with sheep and cattle still occasionally driven across the green. Within this tranquil setting, a church has stood on the site of St Mary's since 1080 and most probably before. Over the centuries many changes have taken place allowing the buildings to develop into what you see and enjoy today. Churchwardens Looking down the nave to the Wesley Room.

2026: A visit to Picker House – House, Garden and Gallery Tour

SORRY THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT. With kind permission of the Stanley Picker Trust. Join us for a rare visit to Picker House: an exceptional example of late modernist domestic architecture and a remarkable expression of the cosmopolitan life of its original owner, Stanley Picker. Designed by architect Kenneth Wood and completed in 1968, the house remains an extraordinary time capsule of late‑1960s luxury — a private residence conceived to showcase Picker’s outstanding collection of modern and contemporary art. Number One, Picker is the private home of Stanley Picker, a cosmetics magnate who made his fortune in the sixties and commissioned architect Kenneth Wood to design and build a beautiful modern home in Surrey, with the interiors and furnishings contract fulfilled by the Conran Group. Originally commissioned in 1965 and completed in 1968, the house has been held in trust since Stanley’s death in 1982, with all the original furniture and interior decor still in place - the house is a wonderful time capsule to the very best in design and architecture that the mid sixties had to offer. This 2-hour tour will be led by one of the Stanley Picker Trust’s longstanding and knowledgeable guides. They will lead us through the house and share insights into Stanley Picker’s history, the design and construction of the building, the commissioned furniture, and the art collection housed on site.
