Things to Do
Events, festivals, sport, somewhere to eat, things to see, somewhere to stay and days out with the kids — everything for spending time in Cheltenham.
Our weekly newsletter rounds up what’s on each week, and festivals covers the town’s year-round calendar of Literature, Jazz, Science, Music and racing. Coming for the races? Where to stay for the Cheltenham Festival lists hotels and rentals near the racecourse. For regular activity, sport & clubs covers Cheltenham Town FC, Gloucestershire Cricket, parkrun and local running, cycling, hiking and climbing clubs, with dedicated pages for Cheltenham Town FC fixtures and results, Gloucestershire cricket and the Cheltenham Cricket Festival and local parkrun events.
Looking for somewhere to eat? Where to eat maps Cheltenham’s restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways with their official food hygiene ratings, and food hygiene ratings covers every venue’s Food Standards Agency rating, split into five-star venues, those rated 1 to 4, exempt businesses and ones awaiting inspection. Got little ones to entertain? Our play parks page maps children’s playgrounds within 10 miles of the town centre, and our public toilets map shows the nearest facilities, including accessible and baby-changing ones. Visiting or hosting visitors? Points of interest maps the town’s notable sites, and places to stay lists local hotels and guest houses. Just after somewhere to sit, work or meet? See third spaces. To get involved locally, browse clubs and societies, sports clubs and arts and crafts studios, classes and galleries. Many of these groups have long histories, from Cheltenham Archers, founded in 1857, and Cheltenham Camera Club, founded in 1865, to the Film Society, founded in 1945.
