Chefs swapped tongs for bats, critics traded notebooks for wickets, and the annual Chefs vs Critics cricket match returned once again to the Cotswolds` very own Theatre of Dreams. 🏏
A competitive day (at least in spirit) saw some of hospitality`s finest battle it out on the pitch. While the cricket wasn`t always textbook, the @cote__citron beers were refreshingly cold and the company more than made up for it.
Finally, a big thank you to our chef & press attendees 🏏

A Cotswolds guide for a scorching bank holiday and the prettiest villages in England 💧☀️
📍 Castle Combe: postcard-perfect streets and shaded corners that feel frozen in time
📍 Lower Slaughter: quiet streams, little stone bridges and the kind of calm you only get in the countryside
📍 Bourton-on-the-Water: lazy afternoons beside the river with everyone dipping their feet in
📍 Lacock: historic village charm and a bakery stop your heatwave weekend absolutely needs 🥐
📍 Bibury: riverside walks, stone cottages and the dreamiest cooling-off spots

A meeting of minds, materials and craftsmanship.
When interior designer @georgie_pearman sat down with @zardi_and_zardi, the conversation centred around storytelling through interiors. Layering colour, texture and heritage to create spaces with warmth and character.
Pictured here @thewildduckewen, the Frampton Verdure and Triumph of the Gods tapestries by Zardi & Zardi bring depth and quiet drama to our Cotswold pub with rooms, which opened last year. Thoughtfully chosen, beautifully made and integral to the atmosphere of the pub 🌿

Last week at @thewildduckewen, we welcomed @finisterre and a wonderful group of women to celebrate the art of repair with artist and repair specialist @brockandrollin, whose beautifully considered approach gives well-loved garments a longer life.
The day began with a wild swim led by @rewildswimclub and @river_girl_, followed by a thoughtful repair workshop where guests learnt the craft of square darning and ways to extend the life of their clothing.
A day of cold water, creativity, good conversation, seasonal food and slow moments in the Cotswolds, exactly the kind of gathering we love to host!
Thank you to everyone involved 🌿
