Home · Events in Cheltenham This Week
You can find a range of events across Cheltenham this week, from live music at restored spaces to late-night performances near town centre venues. Sets include indie guitar acts at Pittville Park’s covered pavilion, drum & bass nights under gas lamps on Bath Road, and improvised comedy hosted by local collectives in halls adjacent to Cheltenham Town Hall. Family-friendly gatherings are scheduled in green areas such as Sandford Parks Lido's picnic space, reachable via the A40, and open-air events near the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway terminus.
Highlights include storytelling nights inside disused railway arches behind St Mary’s Church and quiet reflection sessions on the west bank of the River Chelt, accessible from Highnam Road. Cultural offerings focus on local archives linked to GCHQ's wartime operations between 1943 and 1950, and earlier patterns in Regency-era urban development following Henry Skillicorne’s civic planning.
Most events run from weekday evenings (6pm onwards) with venues located within walking distance of Cheltenham Spa railway station. Some performances at Sandford Parks Lido require advance booking due to limited space, while others in the town centre are open-air and free to attend under public safety guidelines set by Gloucestershire County Council.
Check listings for confirmed times and venue details on site.
