Extra special Cotswolds Christmas gifts
12th December 2016
We've hand-picked a fantastic selection of extra special Christmas gifts from the Cotswolds, all of which you can buy online so you don't even have to go shopping!
Give a loved one the gift of cooking!
Whether they are a novice cook or want to finesse their skills, the gift of a cooking class at The Cookery School at Thyme will long be remembered! This is a very special place to learn, as much of the food is produced and reared locally on the estate and the focus is on seasonal ingredients. Courses are led by expert chef-tutors and cover cuisine from around the world, along with skills like foraging, baking and even chocolate making.
An animal encounter at Cotswold Wildlife Park
Give a wildlife fan a really unique and memorable gift with a Keeper for the Day or Animal Encounter experience at Cotswold Wildlife Park (popular with both adults and children!). They will get to spend time with the animals, help the keeper with feeding and learn all about wildlife and conservation.
Eat like a Prince with a Highgrove Hamper
Treat someone to a Highgrove Hamper this Christmas for a luxury gourmet experience. You’ll find a host of Highgrove specialities, including their Cuvée Champagne, HRH The Prince of Wales’s special blend tea bags and quintessentially English clotted cream fudge and preserves.
Outstanding natural spirits at The Cotswolds Distillery
This is a great idea for a present - a tour and tasting at Cotswolds Distillery, where an expert guide will take you on a gin and whisky making journey in this beautiful rural distillery. You will learn the craft of creating fine spirits and see all the special distillation equipment, before trying some of the delicious spirits in the comfy tasting room.
A year of special places with National Trust Membership

They can try local cheese, afternoon tea, delicious pastries, rare-breed meats and charcuterie, and locally-made tipples!
Afternoon tea time in the Cotswolds
Why not give someone a traditional English afternoon tea for Christmas? We have some wonderful places to enjoy afternoon tea in the Cotswolds and you can buy gift vouchers for many of them, or why not treat yourself as well and accompany a loved one to afternoon tea?

A year of family fun days out at Cotswold Farm Park

A day of pampering at The Greenway Hotel and Spa
