Set in an idyllic rural location, way off the beaten track on the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border, with the crowing of cockerels in the distance, a roaring fire, and a charming Cotswold garden to explore, The Coach House is about space. Space to learn, space to exhibit, space to experiment, to entertain or indulge, to hone an existing skill, or learn a new one – all in a relaxed atmosphere of fun and casual learning – not to mention the chocolate brownies.

Courses are varied, seasonal and random. Past courses have included garden talks by Sarah Raven, Bob Brown, Helen Yemm, Roddy Llewellyn; an evening with Douglas Hurd; Botanical Painting with Anne Marie Evans.

Lessons and courses in art, computers, Bridge, and cookery demonstrations feature regularly.

Equipped with wi-fi, large-screen projector, companies (Microsoft UK, Butler Sherborn and JMS Resources) have used The Coach House for board meetings, training days, and presentations.

The Coach House is also used by private individuals for drinks parties, Christmas parties, wedding anniversaries and lunches.

 “…a day at the Coach House is like a week’s holiday, a wonderful escape from real life.”

The brochure for the Autumn 2009 will be out in August -
