Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding - August/September 2022 (Issue 34)

ADVENTURE LOVERS We’re both animal lovers and want to enjoy a day out together instead of a separate hen and stag event. What can you suggest? About the venue: Sudeley Castle & Gardens is one of Gloucestershire’s most loved and top-rated historical sites with more than 1,000 years of history. It’s rated amongst the top attractions for ‘Things to do in the Cotswolds’ and is the only private castle with an English queen, Katherine Parr, buried in its grounds. There are 10 gardens, exhibitions, an adventure playground, and more to explore. Claire Ridley, Editor, Your Glos & Wilts Wedding says: The main event for 2022 is the Sudeley Sculpture Safari, a procession of life-sized, naturally-made sculptures featuring rhinos, hippos, zebras, orangutans and elephants, among other much-loved creatures of the animal kingdom. The trail aims to celebrate them all and spreads a universal message of conservation and peaceful coexistence with nature. As well as more exotic animals, visitors to the castle will also encounter a giant hedgehog sculpture, which tells the story of one of Britain’s precious and endangered species. The trail appeals to all ages, and visitors have the chance to also learn about the natural world while finding the sculptures dotted around the grounds.

About the venue: Conveniently located near Bath, Bristol and Swindon in Chippenham, Wiltshire, Drive-Tech at Castle Combe is a great place for a hen or stag gathering. Jayne Cooper tells us: There’s nothing like a bit of adrenalin-pumping fun to get everyone revved up! A karting Grand Prix is an ideal way for groups of friends and family to experience some thrilling action-packed adventure with plenty of track time. The attitude of the staff help to make Drive-Tech the best karting experience with plenty of time spent in the carts and a racing format keeping it competitive throughout. Party in the fast lane during the day and then head into town and turn it up a notch for the evening! There’s no shortage of nightlife ideas and places to stay close by to the track.
