We made a splash at Bibury Trout Farm
The May 2025 Cotswolds Huddle at the fantastic Bibury Trout Farm was a roaring success, absolutely buzzing with energy and connection. Over 60 people, representing a diverse range of local businesses and industries, gathered in this wonderfully tranquil setting right in the heart of Bibury.
As always with a Cotswolds Huddle, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, truly encouraging genuine conversations and the free exchange of ideas. It was brilliant to see new acquaintances being made and existing relationships deepening, all set against the charming backdrop of the working trout farm.
A huge thank you goes out to the amazing Rupert Marlow from Three Pin Media for capturing all the great photos from the Huddle!
A Taste of the Cotswolds
Bibury Trout Farm proved to be a superb host, offering a covered event space with stunning views of the trout pools. The food was definitely a highlight, featuring four delicious canapé options. Three of these showcased the farm’s incredibly fresh trout: there were taramasalata mousseline vol au vents with trout caviar, spring onion blinis with cold-smoked trout, and a vibrant Thai ceviche trout. For our vegan guests, a delicious gazpacho with carrot and cucumber pearls provided a delightful option.
These delectable treats were perfectly complemented by a crisp and refreshing Bulari from Poulton Hill, an award-winning English wine producer and sister company of Bibury Trout Farm.
