Many thanks to everyone who got involved with our new Instagram hashtag community #WeLoveGlos in February. We launched the hashtag at the beginning of the month to celebrate all the unique places that make Gloucestershire a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.
In three weeks 197 local people, companies and tourist boards have tagged us in their photos and shared tips about their favourite local places. We now have a long list of recommended local coffee shops, restaurants, walks and attractions we want to try out for ourselves! We look forward to picking up lots more local recommendations as the #WeLoveGlos community continues to grow.
Read on to find out who our winners are for February and what you could win this month…

A few of our favourite #WeLoveGlos posts from February
As promised here are a few of our favourite posts from this month, followed by our three winning posts.
Our three winning #WeLoveGlos posts for February
Our winning post is by Sarah @earth_lists. This post sharing her four favourite coffee shops in Cheltenham has won her an instructor led family taster climbing session at the Warehouse in Gloucester worth just under £100. We look forward to hearing all about it Sarah:)
We are always looking for recommendations on local places to eat so this delicious looking sandwich by Charlotte @charlottesbig_loves was a big hit! We hope you enjoy exploring the Cotswolds with your trail map and trail pack by Cotswold Discovery Trail Charlotte.
As big fans of Cotswold Farm Park we loved this post and cute caption by Danni at @danstar212. I’m sure you will see lots more sheep whilst exploring the Cotswolds with your trail map and trail pack by Cotswold Discovery Trail Danni!
