WELCOME to the January to June What’s On Guide 2024

WELCOME to The Cheltenham Trust’s What’s On guide for January to June 2024 which highlights the exciting schedule of events at Cheltenham Town Hall, Pittville Pump Room, The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum and Leisure at Cheltenham.

Whether it’s music, entertainment, comedy, workshops, or a free party in the park, The Cheltenham Trust offers something for everyone to enjoy.

A firm favourite for music lovers is the Ultra 90s, that brings the Ultra 90s vs 2000s to the town hall in February with a unique celebration of dance anthems, with live musicians and a spectacular light show. If pop nostalgia is your preference then 5678 The Steps Experience is one not to miss.

For those seeking a night of comedy, Rosie Jones has extended her Triple Threat tour to include Cheltenham on 21 March, and her show will be a sell-out. The jewel in the comedy calendar is Romesh Ranganathan, and if you didn’t manage to book tickets for this sell-out show, why not sign up for our newsletter on the town hall website, to ensure you are among the first to hear about new shows and events?

The Cheltenham Trust will once again host its annual summer community party in the park on the weekend of 22 and 23 June. Details of the programme of entertainment and activities for the event at Pittville Pump Room and park will be published soon.

The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum will host Radev, a private collection of art, never before seen by the public, which includes works by Picasso. And for our younger audience, Leisure at Cheltenham has a programme of family friendly events, including the popular holiday camp and Easter party.

All our shows can be booked online and you can opt for e-tickets and simply show your tickets on your smart phone when you arrive at the venue. We would recommend early booking to avoid disappointment and we look forward to welcoming you.
