July 2025 - What's On Cheltenham Events

The summer holidays are here and we have lots to entertain you in Cheltenham, The Festival Town!  Some of the unmissable events for families or the young at heart include Summer Jam at The Brewery Quarter and Fantasy Forest Festival.  

Sports fans will not want to miss one of the most loved events in the social and sporting calendar - Cheltenham Cricket Festival. For rugby, netball and dodgeball fans (with some music thrown in for good measure) Cheltenham 7s Festival is a guaranteed memorable weekend.  

Music fans are also spoilt for choice with 8 days of star performances and world premieres at Cheltenham Music Festival and also the award-winning 2000 Trees to look forward to. 

From 11 July, witness the Lions at Large – The Pride of Gloucestershire Trail, a fun, free, and family-friendly Wild in Art event where lion sculptures will fill the streets, parks, and open spaces.
