Can you handle the heat? Whether you love chilli or just want to test your mettle, Cheltenham Chilli Fiesta brings you everything from the mild to the very VERY hot! There's even a 'CLASH OF THE TITANS' competition to eat your way to the hottest chilli if you dare!
Cheltenham Science Festival
Dates: 5th-10th June
Location: Town Centre, Various Locations
With six days jam-packed with quirky, creative and everyday science to get your brain buzzing, there really is no excuse not to get hands-on in the Festival. Contrary to popular belief, the science-festival is not a brain-burner, but it is designed to tackle everyday topics, be interesting and relatable and most importantly be understood by all. It's not just biology, chemistry, physics either; there's everything from AI to religion, psychology to movie making and everything in between. There are more than 100 free events happening in the tents too, so make sure you pop down.
