Community-Backed Directory

Lock In Your Membership Rate for Life.

At our discretion, we periodically open our Founding Member Price Lock. When you join or upgrade today, your rate is frozen forever. No price hikes. No inflation creep. Just long-term local partnership.

More Than a Directory: A Digital Beacon for the Cotswolds

Commercial directories can feel transactional and soulless. Cotswold Grapevine was built from a community of more than 8,100 people who care about where they live, work, visit, and spend their time. We are creating a useful local platform that helps businesses thrive while making everyday information easier to find.

Free for Charities & Non-Profits

Parish groups, local sports clubs, food banks, and charities can list for £0 forever. Community cohesion comes before profit.

A Civic Information Hub

We map the everyday essentials residents and visitors need, from public toilets and accessible facilities to recycling points and fuel.

Parking & EV Charging

Our practical guides help people find town car parks, understand tariffs, and locate reliable EV charging across Cirencester and surrounding villages.

Markets & What’s On

We champion historic Charter Markets, Corn Hall craft fairs, farmers markets, grassroots cultural events, and the people who make them happen.

How the Founding Lock-In Works

Clear Terms. Long-Term Confidence.

The offer is designed to reward the businesses that choose to support the Grapevine early. There is no complicated small print around the principle: join during an active window, remain continuously active, and your agreed renewal price remains protected.

01

Secure Your Tier

Join on an Enhanced or Featured plan while an active Founding Member Price Lock window is open.

02

Rate Locked Forever

As long as your membership remains continuously active, your monthly or annual renewal price never increases, even as the directory grows.

03

Early-Adopter Authority

Founding members gain priority placement and prime visibility as more local people discover the Cotswolds through the Grapevine.

Our promise is simple: your locked price is tied to continuous active membership, not to a temporary introductory discount.
