Today’s Cotswolds Huddle marked the very first Huddle of 2026… and what a fantastic way to start.
Hosted at the exceptional Tewkesbury Park, this morning’s gathering set the tone beautifully for the year ahead, bringing together familiar faces and new connections in one of the most impressive hotel settings in the Cotswolds and far beyond.
103 of us braved the flurries of the Cotswolds and we all arrived with the optimism that comes with the first Huddle of the year… fresh conversations, new ideas, and the excitement of the new year and what’s to come.
An outstanding host in every sense
Perched above the rolling Gloucestershire countryside, Tewkesbury Park is widely regarded as one of the finest hotels in the region, and today was a perfect reminder of why. Elegant, welcoming, warm… this hotel provides an atmosphere that instantly puts people at ease and unrivalled views in all directions.
The hospitality was, quite simply, outstanding. Huddlers were treated to a beautifully curated buffet featuring the finest finger foods, thoughtfully prepared and impeccably presented. From savoury favourites to lighter bites, the spread was generous and delicious.
A space made for connection
As always, the heart of the Huddle lay in the conversations. The room quickly filled with the familiar hum of introductions, catch-ups, laughter and meaningful exchanges. From long-standing Huddlers and lots joining us for the first time, there was a genuine sense of community in the room. The setting, the hospitality and the shared purpose of coming together made it easy for conversations to flow and connections to form.
The year ahead starts here
A heartfelt thank you to Tewkesbury Park for hosting us so generously and helping us kick off the year in such style. If today was anything to go by, 2026 is already shaping up to be another brilliant year for our Huddles.
…and an enormous Thank You to Rupert
A huge thank you, as always, to Rupert Marlow of Three Pin Media, who has a wonderful way of capturing our Huddle moments. The warmth in the room, the energy of the conversations, and the fantastic setting… his images help us relive the Huddles long after they’re over.
