A Relaxing Stay for Westonbirt Forest Live Concerts

Summer evenings at Westonbirt Arboretum come alive during the Forest Live concert series in June, where music drifts through the trees and the setting feels wonderfully atmospheric. It’s a special way to enjoy live performances—surrounded by nature, with a relaxed and friendly crowd.

Staying at Cotswold Cottage gives you the best of both worlds: easy access to Westonbirt and a relaxing comfortable place to return to afterwards. After an evening of music, avoiding long journeys home makes all the difference—especially when you can simply unwind and enjoy a restful night in the countryside.

Many guests choose to make a full day of it. A gentle morning exploring nearby villages or enjoying a leisurely breakfast sets the tone, followed by an unhurried afternoon before heading to the arboretum. Bringing a picnic or enjoying food at the venue adds to the relaxed, festival‑like feel of the evening.

One of the joys of Forest Live is its atmosphere—less crowded than city venues, with space to sit, wander, and truly enjoy the setting. Returning afterwards to a quiet village stay helps keep that calm feeling going.

If you’re attending a concert, we recommend booking accommodation early, as nearby stays fill quickly during popular performances.
