2 September 2025 ∙ Today, we gathered once again for a memorable Huddle, this time at the stunning Blackwell Grange, one of the most exclusive wedding and event venues in the Cotswolds. We were delighted to welcome around 75 people representing an incredible variety of businesses. The sense of energy, collaboration, and genuine connection filled every corner.
Wonderful hospitality
Blackwell Grange offers a setting that feels both intimate and indulgent — the ideal backdrop for unforgettable celebrations. From its breathtaking 16th-century heritage buildings to its thoughtfully designed contemporary spaces, our hosts, Didi and Will, made everyone feel at home. Throughout the couple of hours we spent enjoying their wonderful hospitality, they guided us on tours of the venue, showcasing the beautiful ceremony spaces, luxurious rooms, and picturesque grounds. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail left a lasting impression on all attendees.
Pottery in motion
A highlight of the day came courtesy of Alan from Honeybourne Pottery, who brought along his pottery wheel. Guests had the chance to roll up their sleeves and experience the art of pottery first-hand — an activity that sparked plenty of laughter and creativity.
Bring on the bagpipes
Adding a distinctly musical touch, Bronwyn – The Cotswolds Bonnie Piper – treated us to a lively taster of her bagpipe performance. The powerful sound of the pipes provided a truly memorable moment and showcased just how impactful live music can be at an event or celebration.
Capturing the spirit
As always, a big thank you goes to Rupert of Three Pin Media, who captured the event through his lens. His photos document not only the people but also the warmth, vibrancy, and community spirit that make the Huddle so special.
The power of community
The September Huddle at Blackwell Grange was another wonderful example of what happens when businesses come together with open minds and generous spirits. Networking at The Cotswolds Huddle is about building real friendships, sharing ideas, and celebrating one another’s successes.
That’s the heart of The Cotswolds Huddle: a community of businesses supporting businesses, where collaboration leads to long-term growth, opportunity, and connection.
