Quintessential English countryside

The Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with rolling hills and medieval, story-book villages. It is the birthplace of notable English composers, including Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Edward Elgar, no doubt they were inspired by their surroundings. It is only a stone’s throw from the cities of Bath and Oxford, while there are also many peaceful towns with thatched roofs and meandering streams to visit.

Concerts

The Cotswolds welcomes thousands of tourists every year, so there’s certainly the audiences and appetite for concerts! The town of Burford, known as the gateway to The Cotswolds, hosts the annual Burford Festival with a broad programme of music. There are a variety of venues to choose from.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.

We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at your rehearsals and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have a promotional poster to put up around your school, which you can download here. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.

You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to find the best possible venues for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.
