Quintessential England & Cool Britannia
Cheltenham is a spa town that boasts a relaxed, town and country vibe, but hosts events worthy of any city. We’re a cool combination of cosmopolitan culture and quintessential England, and we’ve got our very own collection of strange quirks too – fancy chasing a cheese down a steep hill anyone?
A great base to explore…
With its close vicinity to the Cotswolds, the historical city of Gloucester and the ancient woodland in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, Cheltenham lends itself as an ideal base to explore.
If it's music that you’re into, Cheltenham has a lively music scene with many of our local pubs and cafes hosting gigs and live music. We are also proud to be home to the annual Cheltenham Jazz Festival (April/May), Wychwood Festival (June), Cheltenham Music Festival (July) and 2000Trees Festival (July).
Add to this the many other events throughout the year for children and adults alike, whatever time of year you choose to visit Cheltenham, there will be something to keep you entertained.
