Billed as the Forest of Dean’s best kept secret, The Coleford Music Festival is held outdoors in Coleford town centre every summer.

Marrying two ancient English and Welsh folk traditions, the Chepstow Wassail & Mari Lwyd has become a popular local event.

Monmouth Music Festival returns for 2019 with more great music and events over 9 days and venues throughout Monmouth.

If you’re staying at Hollytree House in Symonds Yat cast your eyes over the river above the Saracens Head Inn and you’ll see the chalet style home sat in the wood above it (known locally as the Red House).

Christmas is always a special time, but Puzzlewood forest makes it even more magical!
