Take a pictorial tour through these pages and get a taste of Olde Cotswold England - but if you really want to appreciate the feeling of staying in an old cotswold stone house in a town, hardly touched by the centuries, you'll just have to come and visit us.

 

Due to its central location in the north Cotswolds, Campden is also a perfect place to stay with plentiful accommodation. You can enjoy the delights not only of this charming old wool merchants' town, but also the nearby surrounding shire counties of Oxfordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire. From Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds to the south, to Worcester and the Malverns to the west plus Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick (with the best medieval castle in Europe) all within an hour's journey.

  

2012 offers a range programmes starting with the Campden Literature Festival from 1st - 6th May (Festival - programme to follow shortly) which will be followed by the renowned Annual Chipping Campden Music Festival from 6th - 19th May - hosting international artists from across the world (watch this space for the 2012 Festival - programme to follow shortly).  

 

For something completely different Chipping Campden offers the world famous Robert Dover's Olimpick Games will be held on 1st June (shin-kickers pad up!), this will be followed on Saturday 2nd by the annual Scuttlebrook Wake (this spectacle is run every year - starting in 1612). 

 

Of course there is plentiful accommodation, ranging from: hotels, delightful B&Bs, Farms and Self-Catering (holiday lets) Cottages (see lists below).

 

But please book early as at these times and also at weekends, Chipping Campden and the Cotswolds, with its stunning scenery and country walks is a very popular and modestly priced destination.

2012 OLYMPIC FLAG LEGACY

Chipping Campden is receiving the official London 2012 Flag to fly in the town as part of the nationwide Beijing-London handover celebrations from Sunday 24 August 2008 onwards.  

 

The Secretary of the Robert Dover's Games Society Dr Francis Burns handed over the flag to the Mayor of Chipping Campden, Chris Jones, in a ceremony in Chipping Campden Town Square at 1600 on 24 August.

 

He will invoked the spirit of Robert Dover (embodied in period costume by Father John Brennan) by witnessing the raising of the flag, as the next chapter of Campden's involvement in the British Olympic movement.

 

In mounting their bid for the 2012 Olympics the British Olympic Association referred to Dover's Games as "the first stirring of Britain's Olympic beginnings".
