Make Dad feel like a King this Father’s Day with our indispensable gift guide to celebrate fantastic father figures who make life better, brighter and funnier!

Whether your Dad is a fan of a great day out, keen to try out a new skill, a foodie connoisseur, theatre lover or a passionate supporter of Gloucestershire’s fantastic independent specialists, we’ve come up with 20 suggestions to make your pressie shopping easier than ever this year.

A train ride on Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway is sure to make Dad feel chuffed. There are theme nights and murder mysteries to make the journey even more lively. We’re a big fan of the wine and cheese evenings.

If you think your Dad would like a swing at virtual golf, try the newly opened The Golf Rooms at The Brewery Quarter. Alternatively, for a fun family day out, head for the crazy golf course at Sherdons Golf Centre near Tewkesbury.

For beer loving Dads, why not surprise him with a new tipple to try from Stroud Brewery or DEYA Brewery craft beers in Cheltenham? Even better if you throw in lunch for him when you go to collect them.

If your Dad has a sweet tooth, a crate of Dunkertons Cider could be just the ticket. Just ensure he takes his time to sip and savour his drinks, as some of them pack a pretty hefty punch!

For a refined palate, gin from Sibling Distillery in Charlton Kings could be just the ticket. Choose from lemon and rosemary, strawberry and black pepper, apple, blackberry and cardamom or cranberry and clementine flavour.

A bottle of Woodchester Valley Vineyard grown wine might put a smile on his face and if you’re pushing the boat out, a tour of the pretty vineyard taking in the views and a spot of lunch could be a real winner.

There’s nothing like the vibrant atmosphere and cries of support for ‘Glawster’ to make it a Father’s Day to remember with tickets to a Gloucester Rugby game to enjoy together.

The Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury has a superb variety of shows. Share your love for live entertainment with Dad by choosing tickets for an event you know he’ll love.

A shooting day with Cotswolds firm Ian Coley Sporting will give Dad plenty to talk about. With professionals on-hand to give out advice, he could come home with a fresh set of skills.

A fun Weird Fish T-shirt will surely put a smile on Dad’s face. We like the Tewkesbury firm’s punny and cheeky slogans.

A Thyme cookery class in the Cotswolds could benefit you both. Take your pick of delicious themes such as pickling and preserving, Spanish tapas, eclairs or mezze making.

Cheltenham’s SLG Brands grooming brands could add a bit of style to your gift giving. With everything from FatFace bath soaks to trendy Osprey products, one of these treats is sure to leave Dad feeling pampered.

Gifts aren’t always about the big gestures. For a little treat, grab Dad an incredible ice cream at Wholly Gelato at Gloucester Docks. With a fantastic mix of flavours, you’ll be on to a winner!

If he enjoys the sweeter things in life, Hetty’s Brownies are also a great bet. You can grab them at her colourful café in Gloucester Food Dock or order an indulgent box online.

A boat ride will surely bring a smile to Dad’s face. There are private charters at Stroud, Saul Junction and Stonehouse with Cotswold Canals Trust that are perfect for a family outing.

It’s on the pricier side but if you’re happy to splash some cash, a massage at Bamford Wellness Spa at Daylesford Farm in the Cotswolds is a memorable experience. It’s a good option for unwinding if your Dad’s been feeling a bit tense lately.

A book token for one of Gloucestershire’s brilliant independent bookstores, will give Dad the chance to browse for new bestseller or dive into a new interest. We love Rossiter Books in Montpellier in Cheltenham and The Borzoi Bookshop in Stow-on-the-Wold.

A craft class at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester could give Dad a fun new hobby to try. With workshops on everything from smartphone photography to dog life drawing and wheel throwing to making a wooden stool, there’s lots of choice to carve out some creative time.
