Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Visit one or more of the events below.

Family fun and so much more 

Where: Batsford Estate, Moreton-in-Marsh

When: Saturday, September 1

Organisers of the first Moreton Show in 1949 wanted to create a showcase for local farmers and craftsmen, with the aim of improving standards.

That element of the show is still essential and while it is still a real agricultural show, there aren't many like it that pack as much into a single day.

It's probably fair to say that the word Farmtastic is not one that would have been used in 1949 but it's here now and a new feature for 2018.

Where: Gloucester Heritage Hub, Alvin Street

When: Sunday, September 2, 10am-4pm
