Dinner. Our bands have already performed at many of these venues.Broadway
The beauty of the mellow, honey-coloured old stone buildings of Broad-wav has lured visitors since the last century—although in those days, before tourism became an accepted industry, the village was known as 'The Painted Lady of the Cotswolds'.
But Broadway is not known just for its pretty houses and tidy gardens. Some of the world's best modern furniture is designed and made there. The industry was started by the Gordon Russell family in 1904 to mend antique furniture for the village inn, the 16th-century Lygon Arms, a former coaching inn. Now its products are-exported throughout the world to such places as Baghdad Palace, embassies in Moscow, and wealthy homes in Eos Angeles. The North Cotswold Hunt meets outside The Lygon Arms, where winter visitors can film huntsmen, horses and hounds.

Stow-on-the-Wold
This quiet hill-top town in the Cots-wolds was once a bustling centre of the wool industry. Its importance grew in the Middle Ages because it stood at the junction of several main roads. The market square is large, and is hemmed in by a cluster of old houses and inns arranged in higgledy-piggledy fashion. The local saying 'Stow-on-the-Wold, where the wind blows cold' probably explains why the buildings are bunched together. Stow Fair, for centuries one of the biggest livestock markets in Britain, is still held in May and October, but today it is mainly a show, although some trade in horses and farm equipment is still carried on.
