You don't have to travel far to spend an evening lounging by the pool with a cocktail this summer, as Cowley Manor Experimental in the Cotswolds has announced the dates for its popular summer pool parties.
Described as an 'outdoor oasis', Cowley Manor Experimental's pool is usually reserved for hotel guests and C-Side Spa members, but on selected evenings throughout the summer, it's hosting a series of pool parties with cocktails and live DJ sets which are open to the public.
Taking place from May to August, partygoers can spend golden hour into the evening sipping on sundowners like the Saturn Slushie with gin, passionfruit, orgeat, lemongrass and ginger tea; the Stiggins Fancy Punch with pineapple rum, genepi, honey, lemon, bitters and ginger ale; the Singapore Sling with gin, cherry liqueur, Benedictine and soda; or a classic G&T, between refreshing dips in the heated outdoor pool.
Standard tickets cost 拢15 each and include entry to the pool party and a towel 鈥� with a spa robe and towel package add-on available for an extra 拢15 per person.
And new for 2026, there are VIP tickets available for 拢35 including pool party entry, a towel, sun lounger and a welcome drink, too.
Alongside the pool bar, the kitchen will also be serving up sophisticated small plates like garden crudites with whipped burrata; raw Bibury trout with tomato, ginger and olives; padron peppers; flatbreads with whipped tahini or trout eggs and charcoal cream; plus Margherita pizza with garden oregano and pesto, or bresaola pizza with hot honey and basil.
So whether you fancy catching some rays and soaking up the vibes by the poolside with a cocktail in hand, floating your cares away in the cool water, or dancing to your favourite songs under the stars, Cowley Manor Experimental's pool parties promise to be an unmissable highlight of the summer in Gloucestershire.
