Autumn Events in Cheltenham 2021
Autumn is a spectacular and action-packed season to visit Regency Cheltenham with many world-class events and live performances taking place.
Kicking off with Cheltenham Heritage Open Days, 10 - 19 September, which offers an inspirational programme of local events to showcase Cheltenham's heritage and history. The theme for 2021 is Edible England, with plenty of opportunities to sample the town's delights.
Horse racing fans will flock to the home of jump racing, Cheltenham Racecourse, for two days in October to attend The Showcase and again for The November Meeting, an annual unmissable three-day meeting. As racing meets were held behind closed doors last year these events are sure to be memorable occasions!
