Free Events in Cheltenham
They say that in life nothing is really free, but sometimes, it really is! As well as providing a fabulous backdrop, packed full of things you can see, feel, explore, discover and enjoy absolutely free, there is also a regular rotation of free events in Cheltenham that you can pop along and enjoy with family and friends.
The Midsummer Fiesta comes to town every year, creating a bustling, buzzing and free family event, right in the centre of Cheltenham. You can sit all day and just soak up the atmosphere without spending a penny. Although be warned - your kids will definitely nag you for an ice cream or two!
Another top pick has to be our Heritage Open Days, which runs for ten days every September. Plan your staycation during this time to discover some very unique and special places which open their doors during this time for visitors.
Of course, we cannot mention free events in Cheltenham, without paying homage to the ...around town programmes which take place during the Jazz, Science, Music and Literature festivals each year. As well as an outstanding programme of concerts, lectures, talks and exhibitions, Cheltenham Festivals put in amazing effort to producing a completely free ...around town programme. They feature some fantastic speakers / artists which anyone can enjoy, absolutely free.
Of course, as well as all the great events listed below (with more being added all the time), you can also spend hours for free in our amazing parks and gardens, taking in some of the Regency architecture. If you want to learn more about the history of Cheltenham we recommend you take advantage of this free self-guided tour. Also remember to look out on our Cheltenham What's On Guide for the free community events taking place year round.
