August 2020
The summer school holidays sees the numerous visitor attractions in the Cotswolds entertain during August with many activities and things to see and do, but on August Bank Holiday Monday get your waterproofs out!
Nope! – not because it’s going to rain, but in Bourton-on-the-Water a very unusual and thoroughly entertaining event takes place. The annual 'Football match in the River Windrush' is pure excellence even if you hate football. The local Bourton Rovers football club don their wetsuits and snorkels... ok they don’t really, but they split themselves into two teams and play a football match in the shallow waters of the Windrush in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. Be FULLY prepared to get wet if you get too close!
We went along a few years back and made a video - enjoy...
