Family Friendly Events Cheltenham

If you're visiting Cheltenham with your family, it's good to know you can keep them entertained. Of course, there are lots of family events happening all year, and a lot of things you can do for free with kids too, including our parks and gardens.

From small, one-off community events to regular family-friendly happenings, our list below includes an array of events. More are added all the time, so remember to check here before you book and add things to your itinerary (use the heart button on each event page). 

For families seeking history and adventure, the Cotswold Festival of Steam at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway offers a journey through time, where the past comes alive and the heritage of steam locomotives is celebrated over a long bank holiday weekend filled with the magic of steam, picturesque landscapes, and the rich history of the Cotswolds.

It's also worth keeping an eye on our 'Planning Ahead' page for the What's On section, where we add dedicated pages with ideas for School Holidays, Half Term, Mother's / Father's Day and Bank Holidays too...
