VisitWiltshire has compiled a fantastic selection of fabulous ways to celebrate Father’s Day in style.
From free cosy slippers to complimentary brewery beer gifts there’s plenty of fun ways to pamper papas and dote on dads on Sunday 17 June.
Salisbury’s splendidly eccentric Cosy Club is offering a free pair of slippers for every pop who orders a main meal on Sunday (while stocks last). Located just a couple of minutes’ walk from the magnificent Cathedral it’s a wonderful Grade II listed former arts college offering informal dining, drinking and lounging in a family friendly environment.
The Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa near Warminster is offering a manly alternative to afternoon tea featuring sausage rolls, scotch eggs, banoffee tartlets and millionaires shortbread, plus dad's will also receive a free ‘Steam Box Brewery’ gift. There’s also a more traditional Sunday lunch on offer also featuring a free gift.
The Cricklade Festival is one of the West's largest street events, attracting thousands of people from all over the area. This year’s theme is ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ plus there’s a huge selection of activities taking place including live music, puppet shows, stalls, fancy dress and storytelling.
Why not treat your dad or grandad to a delicious lunch and guided tour of STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon? You’ll have the opportunity to handle original objects, learn more about the history of the Swindon Works, discover some fascinating stories and step into the world of the railway worker. The tour lasts around 45 minutes and dining is also available in STEAM's atmospheric Hawksworth Hall from 1pm.
Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is staging a fun Father’s Day golf tournament on the Sunday with children up to the age of 13 on the Bowood Academy Course including a closest-to-the-flag competition. Enjoy a two-course carvery lunch in the Kerry Suite with prizes.
