What's coming up across Cirencester and the Cotswolds this April
April in Cirencester has a particular quality. The town quietly gets busier, the pubs start putting their tables out, every second person you meet is walking a dog or painting a fence. The events calendar follows suit. Here's a roundup of what's been happening across town and a few things further out worth keeping an eye on.
This fortnight's highlights
Head-Bangers Circus: Adventure of Taking Flight
Aerial performance show, billed as family-friendly. If you've got grandchildren down for half term, this could be the answer.
More info →Women's Drumming Circle (Beltane)
Held in a Roundhouse in the woods. Not my usual Thursday night, but several clients have recommended it. Noisier than yoga.
More info →EFest Music Festival 2026
Two stages, 29 acts, Rock 'n' Roll Bingo and fancy dress. Raises money for Prospect Hospice and the Roxi Foundation. Max 250 adult weekend tickets so worth booking.
More info →Gurt Wings pop-up
Multi-award-winning fried chicken. I've not had them yet. High on the list.
More info →Sound Baths at Studio 24
If you've never been to one, it's an hour of lying on a mat while someone plays gongs and singing bowls. More relaxing than it sounds. Word of mouth is that it's booking up.
More info →Churn Project plant sale
Annual event, brilliant for bedding plants and hanging baskets at a fair price. Funds the Churn Project's community work, which supports a lot of local residents I also help through my day job.

Drop me a message if you spot me around. And if you've got a job that's been on your list since March, now's the time, before the school holidays land.
