Mind, Body & Soul

This is the season to indulge in a little self-love, and where better to enrich your mind, body & soul in 2022 than the Regency spa town of Cheltenham? 

We've rounded up events and activities that are guaranteed to help you beat the winter blues; the best hotel special offers; our recommended staycation ideas and healthy eating out options to get everybody feeling their best again. 

Mind

It is one thing getting our hearts pumping at the gym, but we want to get our brains exercising as well. Why not kick off the year by booking a tour with a knowledgeable blue badge tour guide? Discover more about the Regency spa town of Cheltenham whilst enjoying time outdoors. If guided tours are not your thing, you can discover Cheltenham at your own pace with our free self-guided tour around the town centre sights; a Pittville Park tree walk or the new heritage trail at Pittville Pump Room. 

Cheltenham is home to not one, but two Escape Rooms. Test out your detective skills with a visit to the Escape Hunt in The Brewery Quarter and Escape Rooms on Winchcombe Street, (also home to Eat, Sleep, Axe if you fancy trying awe throwing too!)

Body

The body is a temple, and the New Year is a great time to spend some time looking and feeling your best. Kick off 2022 by trying out some of our recommended winter walks, bikes rides and dog walks, all guaranteed to help you make the most of the award-winning parks in Cheltenham and spectacular surrounding countryside.

Want to splash out and treat yourself? A staycation in Cheltenham is just what you need to recharge and start 2022 feeling energised. Our 16 recommended Cheltenham staycations feature a mix of luxurious countryside retreats and boutique town centre properties. So peruse at your leisure, you'll be bound to see something that takes your fancy. Make sure you check out our special offers too, you may be able to nab yourself a 2022 bargain!  

Or how about a relaxing spa day? Cheltenham has been a spa town resort since 1716 when a local landowner became curious of pigeons pecking at accumulated salts, convinced that the natural spa waters had healing properties. A pamper session at a Cheltenham spa is the perfect place to relax and unwind.

On a mission to eat more healthily, or by impacting the planet less in 2022? You'll find our guides to vegan and gluten-free places to eat, and sustainable restaurants in Cheltenham helpful. We've done the leg work for you, so you can just enjoy each delicious mouthful!

Soul

Start 2022 by making a conscious effort to look after your mental wellbeing.  What makes you feel energised? Is it a night out at the theatre; a walk in Pittville Park or along the Cotswold Way with friends; treating yourself to a fancy meal; a day at the races; or perhaps a little retail therapy?  Our helpful guides are guaranteed to give you a little pick me up until the warmer weather arrives in spring!
