FIESTA SIDE
Where Cotswolds goes after dark — bars, live music and the late ones worth staying up for.
Cotswold stone cottages with greenery in Bibury
The pub is the nightlife
There is no club scene here and there is not going to be one. Log fires, local ale and a kitchen that stops around nine.
Stow-on-the-Wold
The highest of the Cotswold market towns, with more pubs around its square than anywhere else nearby, and they stay open latest.
Cheltenham
The only place in the region with a real night out: Regency terraces, restaurants, live music and the racecourse.
Book your dinner table
Village pub kitchens are small and stop serving early. On a Friday or Saturday in summer, walking in without a booking usually fails.
Dark skies
There is very little light pollution once you are off the A429. On a clear night the Milky Way is visible from most village edges.
