Looking ahead: what's on across Cirencester and the Cotswolds this spring

Martin Heap Cirencester Handyman

End of March in Cirencester has its own particular smell. Magnolia on the turn, that first whiff of bluebells, and the neighbour burning the last of the garden clippings. Between jobs I've been trying to get to as many proper local things as I can. Here's a roundup of what's been on across town and the surrounding villages recently.

This fortnight's highlights

The Sound of Music: Film Night and Sing-Along

When: Saturday 9 May, 18:30Where: St Peter's Parish Hall, Cirencester
