Tewkesbury is all set for a Super Summer - and inside this issue you’ll find details of where fun can be had by all the family. One of the highlights of the local entertainment calendar is the Medieval Festival, which takes place 14th-15th July (See page 22). On Saturday 14th July there are two other bustling events to enjoy: the popular Overbury Street Market (10 am-12 noon, see page 9) and Ripple Fete in the afternoon (see page 19). Another lovely Bredon Hill Village, Kemerton, stages its village fete on Saturday 7th July. There’s lots going on at Tewkesbury Abbey too: ‘Brass on the Grass’ on Sunday 8th, with tower tours offering spectacular views over the town throughout July and August (details on page 54). The award-winning Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway has been enjoying a fantastic season since its restored railway line was extended to Broadway, with visitors flocking to enjoy a 28 mile round trip through the Cotswolds. A special heritage diesel gala takes place 27th29th July (see page 56). If you want more steam of a different kind, then the Welland Steam Rally & Country Fair (also 27-29 July) could be just what you are looking for.
