What's on in Hidcote Bartrim

Gloucestershire, England

Share:

Hidcote Bartrim sits quietly in Gloucestershire where the air feels a bit more like countryside than city centre. There aren't many big venues listed yet, but that just means you'll find the local community gatherings and small shows happening right on your doorstep without the fuss. It is a place where neighbours know each other's names and the next event is probably someone's birthday party or a village fair. We keep an eye on what goes on in the wider Gloucestershire area so you do not have to wander far for entertainment. Even if there are no specific halls listed, family fun days and outdoor activities often pop up near here when the weather permits. Near Here tracks down these little things so you can plan your evening without needing a map or a fortune teller.

This year, our beloved Revolutionary War Encampment joins forces with the Traditional Trades Fair for a full day marking America’s 250th anniversary on the museum grounds. Watch the 5th Connecticut Regiment set up camp with musket demonstrations, a battle skirmish with invading British Marines, open hearth cooking, and a children’s march with wooden muskets. Listen to traditional Colonial music and speak with a camp surgeon about his gruesome profession. Try your hand at centuries-old games like graces, or eavesdrop on military maneuvers. Alongside the encampment, skilled artisans demonstrate timber framing, weaving, carpentry, and historic restoration—the craftsmanship that built the nation and keeps our oldest buildings standing. Witness live preservation projects, try hands-on workshops, shop our vendor market for everything from tools to keepsakes, and discover centuries-old skills through family-friendly demonstrations, Colonial games, and activities.
