The busiest months for festivals here are May and December, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our the Cotswolds guide says about those seasons:

Spring (March to May)

A good time for walks on the Cotswold Way and for hill viewpoints such as Dover's Hill and Broadway Tower.

Winter (December to February)

Short days and some seasonal closures. Inns and museums are the best bets, but confirm opening times first.
