Gatcombe is great 
really good viewing in the main bowl, but also very much worth walking round the whole course. Good shopping, great events going on in the main arena, something for everyone
Dont really know about evening entertainment Im afraid as its just down the road from me! The Ragged Cot is a nice pub but fantastically expensive nowadays...

Big Gatcombe is a lovely event. Reasonably good shopping. Lots of stuff going on in the main arena. XC viewing is good, either on the bank behind the trade stands or walk out to the furthest point and there is a loop where you can view a few too.
Best day for the big names is Sunday.
Are you camping on site or staying off site?
There are a few good options in Tetbury, lots of choice in Cirencester. Ragged Cot is nice as is Trouble House, for something a bit different Sophie’s in minchinhampton. All will need pre booking.
