It’s regarded as ‘The Greatest Festival On Earth’ and by now most of the Cotswolds is getting very excited for National Hunt’s biggest event, The Festival, at Cheltenham Racecourse from 15th-18th March. Our Racing Writer, Nigel Aplin has pulled out all the stops with his definitive race guide to each of the four days. Our Fashion Editor Yvette Brentnall and Fashion Photographer, Stef Calleja-Gera have been hard at work on a stunning shoot in one of Cheltenham’s most popular, post-racing cocktail bar’s, Lily Gins with help from some ‘muscle’ from Cheltenham Town Football Club.
As soon as the excitement of the races finish, then we prepare for Easter. Susan Blanchfield’s fascinating account of the history of the Easter festival is the theme for Cotswolds Culture and we welcome our new Food Writer, Rachel Cappuccini, who has prepared a mouth-watering Spring Lamb Casserole. And don’t miss our fabulous competition this month to win two tickets to the Gatcombe Spring Horse Trials.
