Bourton-on-the-Water is the setting and football is the game but it's football with a twist. None of this nine a side business with 45 minutes in each direction played on a pretty pitch of green. This is six a side with 15 minutes in each direction played knee deep in a bubbling brook.

The Windrush River is the water in 'Bourton-on-the-Water' and is also home to one of the Cotswold's more bizarre festivals. The tradition of Football in the River has been around for over seventy years with the modern event attracting a number of local sides and hundreds of spectators to boot.

If you're after a fun weekend in a postcard-pretty setting, then August in Bourton-on-the-Water may be just the ticket. Be warned though, you will get wet.
