The Cotswolds can be a winter wonderland and the magic of a snow covered Bourton on the Water is a real possibility. One of the famous seasonal attractions of the village is the Christmas tree which the Chamber of Commerce erects in the river each year. The profusion of lights reflects in the rippling water creating a scene never to be forgotten.



The Magic of Christmas in Bourton.
The tree is lit from 1st December to 5th January, but the official switching on celebrations are held at 6pm on the first Friday of December, the date of the Victorian themed Late Night Shopping. With the village ablaze with fairy lights and local people dressed in Victorian attire, shoppers can meander through the streets absorbing the festive atmosphere. There is a plethora of gifts from which to choose and an excellent choice of cafes, pubs, and restaurants for food and refreshments.
