The Littlest Lives Rescue
Warning: serious cuteness ahead. The Littlest Lives Rescue is joining the Long Street Summer Social and bringing with them stories of tiny paws, big hearts, and second chances. If you love small animals and want to support a rescue that’s doing incredible work right here in Gloucestershire, make sure you pay them a visit. They’re exactly what this community event is all about.

This is Ragstone, a bedrock of solid grooves, drums, bass, guitar, rhymes and vocals. The group plays funky, beat-driven, alt-rock, indie and rap, and is crafted by three Gloucestershire natives, residing in the creative hub of Stroud.

Expect sweet melodies, colloquial lyrics and a setlist of songs that moves from playful to heartfelt, upbeat to melancholy in the beat of a drum. Catch them on the Long Street Summer Social stage!

It’s been quite a ride for bistro owners Fred Hulls and Jeremy McGovern since they took the reins at Good Food Kitchen & Bar almost 18 months ago.

Cotswold Handmade Soaps
Soap that smells so good you’ll consider skipping the shower just to keep the scent around longer? Yep, that’s Cotswold Handmade Soaps for you. They’re coming to the Long Street Summer Social armed with beautiful, natural soaps crafted right here in the Cotswolds. Stop by their stall and give your nose (and your bathroom) a proper treat.

We joined the wonderful Jon Smith on BBC Gloucestershire's Breakfast Show yesterday and had a lovely chat about our event here in Wotton.

Jon was really enthusiastic about the Long Street Summer Social and everything that our lovely town offers the community and beyond.

Get ready for your closing band, Dog of Man, an innovative, genre-mashing freak-punk group that blends the styles of math, balkan and punk music. Dog of Man is the last band at our event, playing a glorious cacophony of wrongfooted, time-stretched, electric accordion-driven party anthems!

Fun and lively - the perfect band to get you all jumping and send you on your merry way!

We are beyond lucky to have Nick Page headlining the comedy night at Under The Edge Arts! In the last few years, he has won the prestigious title ‘English Comedian of the Year’ and reached the live finals of Britain’s Got Talent (despite having never watched the show).
