Everything you ever wanted to know about travelling in the Cotswolds but were afraid to ask
Stow is an historic Cotswold market town, busy and largely unprettified: people come to have a pleasant stroll around the old buildings, a leisurely look in the shops and a nice meal. The town delivers on all fronts. A certain breed of narcissistic Londoner may find the place infuriating, but the only reasonable response to that is “diddums”
Players Theatre 11.00am £5.00
