Free Events in Cheltenham
They say that nothing in life is free, but our guide proves this theory is incorrect! As well as being home to many fabulous green spaces you can see, feel, explore, discover and enjoy for free, there is also a regular rotation of free events in Cheltenham that you can pop along and experience with family and friends.
The Wimbledon Big Screen and Summer Jam both return to the Brewery Quarter this summer, for free entertainment in Cheltenham’s one stop, shop-dine-stay-and-play destination. While Culture Fest in Pittville Park and the annual Cheltenham Paint Festival provide brilliant opportunities to explore culture and art around the town.
No Child Left Behind's Party in the Park is a fun-filled day for children and families to experience a day of free activities including live performances in music, dance and theatre.
Another top pick has to be our Heritage Open Days, which runs for ten days every September. Plan your staycation during this time to discover some very unique and special places which open their doors during this time for visitors.
Of course, we cannot mention free events in Cheltenham, without paying homage to the Cheltenham Festivals. With the free around town… programme supported by Cheltenham BID and free events in the festival villages for Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Literature Festival, Music Festival and Science Festival the Festivals team put in an amazing effort to feature fantastic speakers, artists, activities and music, which anyone can enjoy for free.
Of course, as well as all the great events listed below (with more being added all the time), you can also spend hours for free in our amazing parks and gardens, taking in some of the Regency architecture. If you want to learn more about the history of Cheltenham we recommend you take advantage of this free self-guided tour. Also, remember to look out on our Cheltenham What's On Guide for the free community events taking place year-round.
