Introduction
Discovering the Cotswolds

Events in the Cotswolds: A September Delight for Canine Aficionados
September in the Cotswolds promises more than just the golden hues of autumn. This year, the region welcomes dog enthusiasts to a delightful soiree that celebrates our furry companions. The Fun Dog Show, scheduled for the end of the month at The Valley Evesham, is gearing up to be a highlight on the Cotswold calendar. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this event is bound to offer an experience filled with joy, excitement, and of course, wagging tails.
Evesham Dog Show 2023: What's It All About?
Unlike many of the traditional breed-specific shows we often see around the country, the Evesham Dog Show 2023 sets itself apart with its distinct ethos. Rather than parading pooches based on breed standards and specific traits, this event aims to celebrate every dog's unique quirks, personality, and charm.
While breed shows often have strict guidelines and can sometimes seem a tad clinical, the essence of this event at The Valley Evesham is sheer fun. It's all about enjoying the spirit of companionship that dogs bring into our lives, irrespective of their breed, size, or pedigree.
