TOGETHER WITH

What a week it’s been, and the festivities just keep flowing - we’ve got another round of Christmas markets this weekend, and lots of chances to get your party on!

The big news from nearby, is the long awaited reopening of the Bidford Bridge, after it was damaged during the Summer 🎉 A welcome site for lots of us who regularly use the bridge, and just in time for Christmas too!

In other news, CV37 residents will benefit from free access to Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage from February 1st, after conservation work is completed at the two properties 👏

We can’t wait to fully embrace everything that’s happening with you all this week, as work winds down and we dive head first into the festivities!!

See you out there 🎄

HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL…

Farm outlets

Beoley

Three generations of the Richardson family have farmed at Carpenters Hill Farm in Beoley. They are currently a mixed livestock farm, using traditional methods and ensuring high welfare for all of their animals. 

Their farmland is managed in a sustainable and ecologically sympathetic manner. They use nature to enrich their soil, planting mixed clover and encouraging wildflowers to flourish. This provides a delicious diet for their cattle and ensures the sustainability of their produce. 

Todenham

Todenham Manor Farm is a 900 acre family farm in the heart of the Cotswolds, close to the Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire border. The land was once owned by Westminster Abbey and has been producing and providing food for the local community for generations. It’s now home to an array of livestock, butchery and now an award winning farmshop, built on a thriving and sustainable eco-system.

Mickleton

A family run business, based in the village of Mickleton, in the Cotswolds. David, the boss, has been a butcher since the age of 18, and worked for the previous owner, Clive Porter, for 14 years before taking over the reins himself in the summer of 2010.

They pride themselves on the quality of their meat, making their own free range sausages on site.
