You’ll discover chances to enjoy both indoor and outdoor pursuits, allowing you to make the most of the late summer weather. Consider an afternoon at Sandford Parks Lido, although recent reports suggest the pool isn’t always consistently heated. For those interested in the town’s history, Pittville Pump Room frequently hosts events, but note the café may be closed during private functions.

Cheltenham’s status as a cultural centre means there’s always something happening. First recorded as ‘Celtan hom’ in 803, the town has a long association with entertainment, building on its 18th-century development as a spa town. This week, you might find a performance at a venue easily accessible via the railway station and Great Western Railway services. The Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway also provides a heritage line terminus for a different perspective. Keep in mind that traffic can be disrupted by events, and parking is often congested, especially during larger festivals. If you’re travelling by car, plan accordingly or consider utilising the railway to minimise potential delays. The listings below offer specific times and venues to help you plan your week.
