What's on in Old Down

Old Down sits in Gloucestershire where the Cotswolds roll gently down to the river and the local shops know your name before you do. With no specific venues listed right now, the town relies on its community spirit for everything from market stalls to village fete preparations. It is a place where neighbours actually wave and not just at the postbox. Events tend to cluster around the church hall or the school hall when the weather turns crisp, though you might find a pop-up art stall in the high street instead. The local library usually hosts story times that keep even the grumpiest adults entertained for an hour. Near Here tracks all these gatherings so you don't have to ask three people what's on for Saturday afternoon.
