Summer in Cheltenham

The sun is shining and Cheltenham, The Festival Town, is gearing up for its most action-packed summer yet. With a lineup of free events, festivals, live performances & much more to look forward to!

There's fun for the whole family at the FREE Summer Jam: The Lakefest Warmup at The Brewery Quarter and NCLB Summer of Play event. 

Memorable summer days out are guaranteed at the Alfresco cinema nights at Ellenborough Park and not forgetting our local lido, Sandford Parks Lido. Book now for The Greatest Showman & Notting Hill. 

Join us for various celebrations throughout the summer for the 150th birthday of the town’s famous composer, Gustav Holst. The community free event in Imperial Gardens on the 21st September is a guaranteed fun day out - Gustav Holst 150 Birthday Celebration.

For creative souls and the artists among us, there will be plenty to see and do in Cheltenham this summer. Everyman Theatre and Cheltenham Playhouse have an action-packed programme of summer shows, Tuckwell Open-Air Theatre Festival will entertain audiences for two weeks in August and Cheltenham Paint Festival promises a grand return the last weekend in July.
