Hen & Stag Parties, Weekends & Mini-Breaks

New Fashioned Cookery & Events

Our lives are marked by occasions and celebrations; we can help you to plan and execute a stress-free event that everyone will remember. If you have a brilliant concept in mind or don’t know where to start, we have the experience, energy and capability to organise every aspect.

From birthday parties, picnics to stag and hen parties, weddings, corporate lunches to team building events, we work with carefully chosen suppliers and local businesses to create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests or colleagues. It doesn’t even have to include food.

We believe in absolutely personal service; one point of contact whom you know and trust to work tirelessly until the last glass is cleared.

We love to cook, we love to create, we love to celebrate. So we decided we should spend all of our time doing just that!

As a brother and sister team, we established Seven Mile to unite our experience and talent in cooking, teaching and event management, based on a few simple rules: good food, good atmosphere, good times.

Jake’s obsession with cooking is infectious; we dare you to tell us otherwise after a Seven Mile cookery class! All you need is a kitchen and a desire to learn and we can create a half or a full day session for you to try out a new skill, a new cuisine or even just learn the basics.

With no set agenda of classes, we can tailor your day completely around you; serious or fun, competitive or collaborative. It’s a great way for family and friends to spend time together and for work colleagues to get to know each other better.

Welcome to Cotswold Off Road

GwynneSpeed is a market leader in providing fun, exciting, safe rally days to members of the public as well as corporate clients and is now delighted to turn it’s hand to the challenge of off-road driving.

With guidance from current 4×4 competitors and instructors, our course has been designed to challenge drivers in a safe, controlled environment. All Off Road instructors have been appropriately trained and, of course, we hold full Public Liability insurance.

The 4X4 Experience

Designed to give the “everyday” driver the opportunity to tackle near vertical ascents, descents, axle twisters, tight space negotiation.

Ideal as a group activity to celebrate a birthday or stag and hen party whilst also offering an unusual backdrop for a corporate day with a difference!  Gift vouchers are available to make an ideal treat for loved ones.

Our specially built off road course is based around one of the stunning Cotswold Water Park lakes on the Gloucestershire Wiltshire border 5.6 miles from Cirencester.  We’ve worked hard to make sure it’s not only challenging, but also picturesque.  The course is a treat for the eyes as well as a challenge for your driving skills!

Please note:Participants must hold a full UK driving licence, be over 5’0”,  be under 6’4” and under 20 stone.Rally driving and alcohol really don't mix - so make sure to plan the serious business of the stag or hen party afterthe rally event, please
