Things to Do in Cheltenham & the Cotswolds

Cheltenham

When it comes to things to do in Cheltenham, where do we start?! Whatever your interests, we guarantee there'll be something for you here. Head over to the Visit Cheltenham - Things to Do pages to explore and uncover more about this Regency town.

Cheltenham has a wonderful mix of both traditional and modern culture and is known as being the most complete Regency town in the UK. Cheltenham has a variety of things to do whilst you're staying here on business or for an event such as beautiful parks and gardens, theatres, art, museums and galleries.

We would recommend that you don't miss out on Cheltenham's most iconic Regency feature, The Caryatids in Montpellier. The Caryatids are 'armless ladies' and a type of column which support the architectural facades of the chic and fashionable boutiques in Montpellier Walk.

Why not explore the Holst Birthplace Museum, where composer Gustav Holst was born in 1874 and discover his Music Room, complete with the piano he composed The Planets on.

For anyone wanting to see some of the finest examples of architecture, we recommend a trip to the Pittville Pump Rooms, which is the jewel of Cheltenham's Regency architecture and the grandest survival of the town's many spa buildings. Visitors can still sample the waters at the original pump, however we understand it's not very pleasant in taste!

One of the best ways to enjoy our Regency town is to join a guided walking tour with our Blue Badge Guide and Tour Manager, Anne Bartlett who is highly knowledgeable and passionate about Cheltenham, it's history and heritage.

 

The Cotswolds

A visit to the Cotswolds for business not only provides you with an ideal meeting and event location, it also provides the perfect opportunity for your delegates to experience the many things to do and attractions on offer in the beautiful Cotswolds.

They may choose to wander around Cotswold historic houses and gardens like Berkeley Castle, Blenheim Palace or Sudeley Castle, or meander down a glorious avenue of trees at Batsford or Westonbirt Arboretum. Perhaps they’ll seek out some outdoor thrills and enjoy watersports, quad biking or axe throwing, or simply enjoy some time soaking in the beautiful countryside with a walk or cycle ride. Of course, they might just want to sit back, relax and spoil themselves at one of the many indulgent spas, cosy inns, or fine dining establishments on offer in the Cotswolds.
