Gloucestershire in Pictures: Wychwood and cheese rolling

Chris Harris of Gloucester speaks with fans after their final-day win against Northampton

What a week in Gloucestershire - once again, our county traditions have stunned people across the world, as millions watched footage of the cheese rolling down Cooper's Hill.

There was to be no fairytale top-four ending for Gloucester Rugby, but they gave thousands of fans at Kingsholm a win to take them into the summer.

Wychwood Festival arrived at Cheltenham Racecourse, and there have been the usual stunning scenes across the county.

Not to be: Gloucester fans filled the streets around Kingsholm in the build-up to the final match of the season on Saturday. The cherry and whites ended with a win against Northampton but finished just outside the play-off places.

Sunny start: Thousands of people have been enjoying live music and more at the Wychwood Festival 2025, where artists like Daniel Bedingfield, Scouting for Girls and Shed Seven are performing. The festival transforms Cheltenham Racecourse each year into a family festival - and this year it's looking bigger and better than ever.

Cheesy does it: One last look back at the 2025 Gloucestershire cheese rolling from Bank Holiday Monday, an event that once again drew competitors from all over the world and was watched by thousands at the scene and millions online.

Heritage: Nestled among the houses of the Cotswold village of Ozleworth is the historic St Nicholas Church. No longer a regularly used place of worship, it is maintained by volunteers from the Churches Conservation Trust.

Cheers! The Brockweir Inn Community Benefit Society has successfully purchased the remarkable 16th Century village tavern on the banks of the River Wye. This community collective is now launching a second share offer to raise the funds needed to refurbish and reopen their historic village pub. The share offer opens on 1 June and will run for six weeks until 15 July.

Stunning settings: A mixed week of weather in the county but enough sunshine for this beautiful photo captured in Hardwicke by our weather watcher, Tone Poet.
