What to do and see in Cotswolds, England: The Best Nightlife
The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

Arrived to a warm welcome from the staff at the bar & shown to our room. Totally covid compliant throughout. Large room, with lovely big comfy bed and fluffy white towels. Everything provided in the room for a couple of nights away (shower gel, hand soap, hairdryer, plus usual refreshments) Ate dinner here twice and enjoyed everything. The mushroom starter was delicious. Excellent beef, lamb shank & steak & kidney pie. Good breakfast choice with very good cooked breakfast. Lovely wholegrain toast! Could not fault the staff who were always friendly and attentive. Would definitely stay here again & highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

The Frog is one of the most atmospheric venues in Cheltenham. With live music, good beer and all major sporting events shown on our 12 screens.
Reviewed By BenSunners - Thornbury, United Kingdom
Have been visiting Frog fairly regularly for around three years now, and it's definitely one of the best spots for sport and music in Cheltenham. Good Points - Always a good atmosphere, indoors and out, generous smoking area - Student prices for drinks very reasonable - Lots of TVs for any sports - Have had Christmas parties here before and it's a great venue - Pool tables - Friendly staff and service - You are welcome to bring your own food/takeaway inside which is actually a great option, it's good that they are open and friendly about this Negative - Toilets are pretty dirty - Some sofas/seating is falling apart Overall a great pub in Cheltenham, would strongly recommend over most other pubs. Generally a good atmosphere and great for sport and music. Can't think of masses of things to complain about here.
6. Sandford Park Alehouse

Sandford Park Alehouse (or “SPA” for short) is tucked away along the London Road, coming out of town. A buzzing real ale house with a large garden with huge awning/marquee over it - which is perfect for get-togethers in our currently permitted groups of 6 outside.. It’s a vibrant, buzzing place! They do have a chef but, as a lovely gesture, are currently doing pop up kitchens with local eateries who are unable to reopen yet because they don’t have seating out in the open. Last night, for example, was Bar Padron tapas. Food & ambiance fantastic and, excuse the French girl, but they even have Provençal rosé. Because it’s for the hipsters, the default is that they ask you to scan a QR code and view the menu for food & drinks online & order online. However, there is a Plan B: speak nicely to the staff and they will take your order the old fashioned way, good ole pen & paper! Booking essential, it’s extremely popular! Enjoy!

An amazing interpretation of this Charles Dickens classic. The creative team have outdone themselves with this version. The Cast were perfect, they wove an intriguing tale of Christmas past, present and future. The Stage Management Team ensuring everything ran perfectly to plan it was just magic in motion. Thank you, one and all. A fabulous night out in a great venue. Another hit for the Barn Theatre.
