There's fun for the whole family at the FREE Summer Jam: The Lakefest Warmup at The Brewery Quarter, the Animal Ark at Sudeley Castle, Bottle-Feeding and Flower Festival at our local farm park - Cotswold Farm Park plus the Imperial Gardens Beach Club, over the August bank holiday, for a brilliant free day out with the little ones.
For creative souls and the artists among us, there will be plenty to see and do in Cheltenham this summer. Everyman Theatre has an action-packed programme of sizzling summer shows, Cheltenham Paint Festival promises a grand return in July and Tuckwell Open-Air Theatre Festival will entertain audiences for two weeks in August.
