Festivals in the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds offers a plethora of festivals throughout the summer, and especially during the height of the summer holidays.
For the more high brow audiences, the Cheltenham Music Festival has an eclectic mix of classical and jazz music in mid July. The Longborough Opera Festival concludes its season 28th July -2nd August with the Emerging Artists programme double bill. This is comprised of Freya Waley Cohen’s ‘Spell Book’, a dramatic song cycle inspired by the composers’s encounter with Rebecca Tamas’ collection of poems, Witch, and Caccini’s La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina.

Richard Greasby Runs Another Ultra Marathon - Running In a Land Of Fire & Ice
There was a certain inevitability that soon after my double marathon in the Atlas Mountains in 2024 that I would be open to another challenge whilst legs, health and my wonderfully supportive wife Carol allowed. This has all followed a growing, but unplanned, running adventure since 2019 with 14 ultra marathons and over 6000 training miles (including 100-ish half-marathon training runs). Needless to say, my physio is seeing more of me than ever!

Helen Whitfield - Market Comment
The last couple of months over the summer holidays have been unexpectedly busy for the Butler Sherborn residential teams. Traditionally, the property market tends to slow down during the school break, as many families travel abroad and shift their focus away from house hunting. However, the summer of 2025 has defied expectations.

Preparing To Sell Your Home
Instruct a solicitor at an early stage to review your title and title plan before taking your property to market. Obtaining legal advice at the outset allows any potential issues to be identified and addressed in advance, significantly reducing the risk of delays or complications later in the process.
