Rolling hills\, villages\, the Cotswold Way\, footpaths & trails\, with some fabulous views en route. \n\n\n\nYou’ll get full support & hospitality\, including optional ‘university style’ accommodation at basecamp\, and with three quarter\, half\, quarter + a Cirencester 10 km distance option also – there’s a Cotswold’s Challenge for everyone. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a walker and new to challenge events\, an experienced trekker\, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance\, or a seasoned ultra runner after UTMB points – there’s an Ultra Challenge® for you! Walk\, Jog\, or Run – as an Individual or a Team\, for a charity of your choice or just for you. \n\n\n\nThere’s an Ultra March® option for ‘fast walkers’ – and a new ‘Solo Challenger’ start time to join up with others. The Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge is fun\, safe\, and rewarding – with full support all the way\, enabling you to push yourself further in the stunning English countryside. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCotswold Way Challenge Options\n\n\n\nFrom the Cirencester basecamp\, it’s not long before the first hill\, and with 2250 metres of climb\, the Full 100 km is a real Challenge! \n\n\n\nThe views out to the west over the Severn Estuary are spectacular\, and if you want to make the most of them there’s a 100 km 2 Day ‘Daylight’ option – with camping at halfway. With a 3/4 option\, Half & Quarter Challenges\, and the Cirencester 10K – there’s a great weekend in the Cotswolds to look forward to! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Continuous – 100 km \n\n\n\nCirencester Loop \n\n\n\nJoin the full-on 100 km Challenge – setting out from Cirencester on Saturday morning heading north into the rolling green hills of the Cotswolds. There is 2\,250 m of ascent – with undulating climbs\, which whilst testing your legs will reward you with some breath-taking views. The continuous challenge will see you stopping every ~12 – 13 km for stops & refreshments\, with a main halfway stop in Wotton\, before heading back towards Cirencester. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull 2 Day Daylight – 100 km \n\n\n\nCirencester Loop \n\n\n\nThe 2 Day Full 100km Challenge breaks down the route into two halves of 53km on Day 1 starting & finishing at the basecamp in Cirencester\, and then 47km on Day 2 – you will get to experience the route in daylight as well as the opportunity to get some rest and sleep overnight.

The route is 3/4 of the Full Challenge – so it starts at Painswick\, takes in the fantastic 2nd 1/4 Challenge route to Wotton\, and then on through the Cotswolds to the finish line at Cirencester basecamp (the 2nd 1/2 of the Full Challenge) after a tough 76 km. Do it as a ‘Continuous’ challenge –  rest overnight after the 1st 33 km & camp at the Wotton basecamp (or hotel/ B&B) – and do the remaining 47 km (2nd half) on Sunday morning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1st 1/2 Challenge – 53 km \n\n\n\nCirencester to Wotton \n\n\n\nSaturday 21 June 2025 \n\n\n\nThe 1st half of the Challenge starts at the basecamp in Cirencester and finishes in Wotton-under-Edge. The route is tough with 1600 metres of climb – and there’s with steep ascents and descents taking you into the heart of this beautiful landscape with magnificent views out to the West.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2nd 1/2 Challenge – 47 km \n\n\n\nWotton to Cirencester \n\n\n\nA great option if you want to join someone on the Full Challenge on Saturday evening to finish with them\, or set off with most others on Saturday morning or early Sunday morning on your own fantastic challenge on Sunday. A start at Wotton – and then some fantastic Cotswold scenery on the way back to the very welcome finish line and celebration back at Cirencester basecamp. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1st 1/4 Challenge – 23 km \n\n\n\nCirencester to Painswick \n\n\n\nThe 1st Quarter of the Cotswold Way Challenge will start from the basecamp in Cirencester – the route is a tough section with steep ascents and descents taking you into the heart of this beautiful landscape.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2nd 1/4 Challenge – 30 km \n\n\n\nPainswick to Wotton \n\n\n\nArguably the most scenic stretch of the whole Cotswold Way route – and one of the toughest ‘quarters’. Starting at Painswick\, you will head towards Coaley Peak with its breathtaking views of the Severne Valley\, before heading onwards to Wotton-Under-Edge for a celebration & hot meal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCirencester – 10 km \n\n\n\nCirencester Loop \n\n\n\nA looped 10 km route from the main Cirencester basecamp – taking in the wonderful surrounding countryside.

A great sin – a mortal sin – for which I must die and go to hell – but it made me free! One moment I was free!’ \n\n\n\nThe city. A woman is restless. Women are suffocating. Women are silenced. A woman revolts. \n\n\n\nMachinal is a pulse-pounding journey of women pushed to breaking point by the relentless machinery of patriarchy\, life\, expectation\, and convention. Sophie Treadwell’s play written in 1928\, updated to 2025\, in Mandala Young Company’s version\, is as relevant today as it was then. It is a gripping exploration of societal norms\, female identity\, and the consequences of rebellion. \n\n\n\nInspired by the real-life case of convicted and executed murderer Ruth Snyder\, the play delves into the life of a young woman caught in the machinery of a rigid and oppressive society. \n\n\n\nThe play is written in eight episodes depicting ‘the different phases of life that a woman comes in contact with\, and in none of which she finds any place\, any peace’. Each episode titles the location of the social institution or the type of behaviour still expected of women in the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThis is not just a play – it’s a warning\, a mirror\, and a rallying cry. Machinal confronts the quiet suffocation of expectation and the loud silence of being unheard. In a world still grappling with gender roles and systemic control\, this story—told through a bold\, modern lens—asks the question: What happens when a woman has no room left to breathe? \n\n\n\nCome for the powerful storytelling. Stay for the uncomfortable truths. Leave changed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the critics say\n\n\n\n\n“Poignant and beautiful writing! Loved the message.” \n\n\n\nSOAS Student \n\n\n\n\n\n“Such a brilliant performance. Such emotion was conveyed.” \n\n\n\nSOAS Student \n\n\n\n\n\n“The performers were genuinely believable characters.

From dynamic flying displays to arts and crafts stalls\, the show will have something for everybody. \n\n\n\nThere’ll be aerobatic displays from warbirds and biplanes to modern-day jets. And plenty to see on the ground\, too – from static aircraft displays and cockpits to sit inside to a great mix of stalls\, classic vehicle displays\, and country fayre traditions and craftsmanship. \n\n\n\nThe Abingdon Air and Country Show began in 2000 as a local fete organised by Neil Porter\, a landscape gardener by trade. It was created with the desire to put something back into the community and provide a family day out at an affordable price. \n\n\n\nThe event barely broke even\, but through perseverance\, the show has grown steadily into one of the sizeable annual events in the area and a highlight on the airshow calendar. \n\n\n\nUnlike many UK airshows\, everyone involved in the show’s organisation is a volunteer. And over the past 20+ years\, they’ve been able to donate generously to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance\, Douglas House Respite Centre\, and many other local charities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s on\n\n\n\nFlying & Static displays: The Titans Display Team\, Hurricane I\, Gazelle Squadron\, Westland Scout AH.1\, Rich Goodwin\, Auster AOP.6\, P-51 (CAC CA-18 Mk.21)\, Jet Provost T.5\, RAF Falcons\, RAF BBMF\, Harvard\, RAF C-17 TBC\, RAF Tutor T.1\, SARO Skeeter\, T-6G Texan and Boeing B-17. \n\n\n\nOn the ground\, there will also be the Steam Engines\, Rescue Huskies\, Craft Tent\, Punch and Judy\, Radio Day Big Band\, Hebborns Amusements\, displays of classic and ex-military vehicles\, various trade and craft stalls. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nAdvance Tickets (1st February 2025 to 23:59hrs 13th June 2025 only)Adult (16 years & over) – £20.00Senior citizens (65+) – £10.00Children 5 to 15 years – £7.00Under 5s – free \n\n\n\nOn the day Tickets (can be purchased online or cash only at the gates)Adult (16 years & over) – £25.00Senior citizens (65+) – £15.00Children 5 to 15 years – £8.00Under 5s – free \n\n\n\nNo credit card machines are onsite on the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting there\n\n\n\nThe easiest way to reach the Abingdon Air & Country Show is by car – please follow the map and postcode directions as instructed on your ticket to the correct gates. \n\n\n\nDriving to the event: Your e-ticket will provide you with a map and postcode to find your way and with entry times. \n\n\n\nPedestrian (Walkers & Cyclists) Gate: For local people who would rather walk to this side gate\, located on Faringdon Road\, with Elm Tree Walk to your left prior to reaching the gates to enter the airfield.
