Summer in Cheltenham
The sun is shining and Cheltenham is gearing up for its most action-packed summer yet. With a lineup free events, festivals, live music, performances & much more to look forward to!
Mid May we can look forward to what is shaping up to be the Festival Town’s biggest party of the summer, Cheltenham Pride.
In June, Cheltenham truly comes alive for The Festival Town season. Discover the ways that science is shaping our future at the Science Festival. Dine and drink to your heart's content at the Cheltenham Food & Drink Festival, and embrace all the cultures of Cheltenham at Culture Fest.
Music fans will be spoilt for choice this summer as well. For classical enthusiasts, look out for the Cheltenham Music Festival in July. Pop fans can head on down to Wychwood Festival in June, while rock aficionados should have the award-winning 2000Trees Festival on their radar.
Meanwhile, there's fun for the whole family at the Midsummer Fiesta and Fantasy Forest Festivals this July. Or why not check out Bottle-Feeding at Cotswold Farm Park or the Cotswold Festival of Steam for a brilliant day out with the little ones?
For the artists among us, there will be plenty to see and do in Cheltenham this summer. The annual Art in the Park exhibition is back in June with the Cheltenham Paint Festival promising a grand return in July. While the Tuckwell Open-Air Theatre Festival will commence in August.
Finally, sports lovers have lots of activities to sink their teeth into this summer. The world’s longest-running cricket festival, The Cheltenham Cricket Festival, returns for its 151st year in July, while rugby, netball and dodgeball fans will certainly want to get the Cheltenham 7’s Festival down in their diary. For participatory events, the Cheltenham Running Festival, Run Cheltenham and Cheltenham Three Peak Challenge offer a rewarding challenge for all ages and abilities. Phew!
