At its heart a true co-operative organisation is socially
responsible and effectively engaged with the communities it serves. At The
Midcounties Co-operative, we aim to involve members and colleagues in supporting
issues that are relevant to where they work, live and learn, and ultimately to help
build strong local communities.
The Midcounties Co-operative Society has more than 700,000
members, and trades in Food Retail, Funeral, Travel, Healthcare, Childcare
nurseries, Flexible Benefits, Phone Co-op and Energy, as well as running a number
of Post Offices.
The Society's mission statement is 'To be a successful
consumer co-operative working towards creating a better, fairer world, and to
enhance the lives of our colleagues, members, customers, and the communities we
serve’.

taking tricks and stunts.
Entertainment is provided for
everyone throughout the day. There will be a traditional Punch and Judy Show, street entertainment,
go karting and much, much more.
The show will also feature
many stalls selling gifts and produce alongside stalls providing you with information about local
charities, clubs and activities that are in the area.
Dog friendly games will
include dog scurry, terrier racing and dog displays. Please bring your dogs with
you.
To keep you going through the
day, there will be various refreshment stands including a tea tent serving delicious homemade
cakes. There will also be a licensed bar.
Tickets cost £5 per adult and
£2 per child. Family tickets (two adults and up to three children) will be £12.
On Sunday 25 August prior to
the show there will be the Run Winchcombe Event at Sudeley Castle featuring a 5k fun run, a 10k
