Summer nights just got a little longer at one of the Cotswolds’ most loved National Trust sites.
Tinkley Gate at Woodchester Park, located just a few miles outside Stroud, will host special late-night events throughout July and August to mark its third anniversary.
Max Biddlestone, visitor experience manager for the Cotswolds at the National Trust, said: "We’re really excited to be celebrating three years of being open with such a diverse programme of events, sharing the best of what Tinkley Gate has to offer.
"There are walks, workshops, outdoor theatre, live music, and relaxed summer evenings, so we hope there’s something for everyone.
"The last three years have been great fun, and we’re really grateful to our surrounding communities for their continued support."
The summer programme will extend Tinkley Gate’s opening hours every Friday and Saturday until Saturday, July 25, with events running until 8pm.
Visitors will be able to enjoy evening walks, golden-hour views, and a calm, family-friendly atmosphere as the sun sets.
The café will remain open until 7.30pm, serving wood-fired pizzas, focaccia, cakes, and drinks, with the final food orders taken at 7pm.
The relaxed outdoor setting will include hammocks, deck chairs, and lawn games, alongside a new dessert club focused on ice cream treats.
Two outdoor theatre performances will also take place, delivered by Quantum Theatre.
