About us

Owned and run by Rachel Hawkins, The Cotswold Hat Club started as Rachel’s personal collection of hats, hand-picked to compliment her outfits for the races, weddings and other occasions.

As the collection became ever more sizable, it progressed from regular loans to friends and family to an official hire service: The Cotswold Hat Club.

Based in the centre of Stow on the Wold, Gloucestershire, The Cotswold Hat Club has a wide selection of both Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter hats, perfect for all occasions. We stock everything from huge, elaborate hats to small, understated fascinators and we also have a range of beautiful fedoras, trilbies, panamas and boaters too. Even if you’re a hat novice, we will have something for you.

Hats can be hired in two ways: either as a one-off hire or by becoming a member of The Cotswold Hat Club. Membership of the Hat Club permits unlimited hires throughout the year - it’s perfect for the regular or perpetual wedding guest.

We offer styling advice free of charge - tell us about your outfit and the event, we’ll help you find the perfect headpiece. To get started, just send us a message.
