Destination Wedding Venues in Cheltenham

Cheltenham

Know widely for its racing, Cheltenham is a very popular tourism destination thanks to its impressive Regency buildings and enviable geographic position: the River Chelt flows through Cheltenham and connects it to the Costwolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty and a summer holiday favourite.  The town itself is a Regency masterpiece, with terraces, planned gardens, gracious buildings and the historic Pittville Pump Room, an artefact from Cheltenham’s origins as a spa town.

Cheltenham calls itself “the culture capital of the Cotswolds” and indeed, this beautiful town buzzes year round with tourists attracted by the peerless architecture and the international festivals covering food and drink; literature; jazz; science; and horse racing. The highlight of the calendar year is the Cheltenham Festival, which attracts an average attendance of 65,000 visitors a day over the four day race meeting.

Cheltenham is well served by transport, with over 100 trains per day stopping at Cheltenham Spa station from all over the country. The town also has great links to the M4, M5, and M6. For couples planning a wedding in Cheltenham, it’s worth remembering that at festival times, traffic can be severely congested and hotel rooms may be hard to come by for wedding guests. Your Cheltenham wedding venue’s coordinator can help you choose a date that’s clear of these planning issues so that your guests can enjoy all this wonderful location has to offer!
