They do many events throughout the year and most people would say go in autumn when the leaves are changing colour. I suggest go in winter as they do an Enchanted Christmas walk through a mile of trees illuminated in the winter night sky. A fantastic time to walk the grounds wrapped up warm with your family and dogs. An absolute must.

Anyone who has an interest in photography and likes autumnal scenes should visit the The National Arboretum at Westonbirt. The nearest town is the market town of Tetbury. This 600 acre site will take you the best part of the day to have a proper look round. The colours in the autumn are quite spectacular with oranges, yellows, browns and reds of all descriptions. Even if you’re not into photography, it’s worth a visit just to see this vast collection of trees.

Two years ago at Glastonbury we thought we were prepared for the rain and the mud. That was until it came and the whole area was turned into a lagoon and we realized our waterproofs were nothing of the sort.

Taking shelter in one of the Oxfam shops we found some rubber overalls with elasticated arms and legs and hoods. I'm not sure what they're meant for, maybe chemical spills, but we bought them and oh, what a joy. Warm, wipe clean and waterproof, we could sit anywhere, lie in the mud, dance in the rain, and be clean and dry when we took them of at the end of the day.

I'm not too sure - probably big DIY stores or builders merchants.
