About Cheltenham
Cheltenham - England's Festival Town
Cheltenham is one of England's most elegant and prosperous towns, renowned for its stunning Regency architecture, world-class festivals, and as the home of British National Hunt racing. The town's spa heritage dates back to 1716 when mineral springs were discovered, transforming it into a fashionable Georgian resort. The Promenade, with its tree-lined avenue and Regency townhouses, is regularly voted one of Britain's finest streets. Cheltenham Racecourse hosts the world-famous Cheltenham Festival every March, the pinnacle of jump racing attracting over 250,000 visitors for four days including the prestigious Gold Cup. The town is also home to GCHQ, the UK's signals intelligence headquarters, making it a significant centre for government, defence, and cybersecurity employment. Cheltenham's cultural calendar is extraordinary: the Literature Festival (the world's oldest), Jazz Festival, Science Festival, and Music Festival draw international audiences throughout the year. The elegant Pittville Pump Room remains a symbol of the town's spa heritage and hosts concerts and events. Montpellier, with its distinctive caryatid sculptures supporting building facades, offers bohemian boutiques and excellent dining. Imperial Gardens and Pittville Park provide beautiful green spaces. Positioned on the edge of the Cotswolds AONB, Cheltenham is the perfect gateway to villages like Broadway, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and the Slaughters. The town enjoys excellent rail links via Cheltenham Spa station and is home to top schools including Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies' College.
