About
Experience the launch of Christmas 2024 in Cheltenham!
Cheltenham Christmas town centre launch - Saturday 23rd November, 3.30pm - 7pm.
Brought to the town by Cheltenham BID, with donations collected during the event going to the Mayor's charities.
Join us in Cheltenham town centre for a magical afternoon of festive fun. The streets will be beautifully lit from dusk, creating the perfect twinkling backdrop for a wonderful line-up of free entertainment.
Featuring performances from local choirs, bands and dance troupes alongside roaming penguins, illuminated stilt-walking angels, snow machines and Granny Turismo - the world's first shopping trolley dance display team - you'll be spoilt for choice.
There will even be a special visit from Father Christmas himself. With the Christmas Gift Market on the Promenade, operated by Cotswold Market, also in full swing, it's the perfect opportunity to soak up the festive atmosphere and kick off your Christmas celebrations in style. So, wrap up warm and enjoy all that's on offer at your own pace.
