Summer in Cheltenham and planning your events
Cheltenham comes into its own during the summer months. Known as a Regency spa town with a strong festival atmosphere, it offers a mix of outdoor spaces, live events and family activities that make it a great place to plan parties and celebrations. From garden gatherings to large community events, summer in Cheltenham is busy, social and well suited to outdoor fun.
Cheltenham parks, gardens and outdoor spaces for summer events
During summer, many events take place in and around Cheltenham’s green spaces. Imperial Gardens and Montpellier Gardens are popular for relaxed afternoons, while Pittville Park offers a larger open setting for family activities and group events. These types of locations are often used for birthday parties, family celebrations and community days, where there is plenty of room for children to stay active.
Cheltenham festivals and summer events across the town
Cheltenham’s reputation as a festival town continues throughout the summer. Events such as Summer of Sounds and Summer Jam bring live music and a steady flow of visitors into the town centre. Areas like The Brewery Quarter and the Promenade become busy social spaces, making them ideal locations for organised events, family days and community celebrations.
Family activities and days out in Cheltenham during summer
There is no shortage of things to do for families visiting or living in Cheltenham. The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway offers a different way to explore the area, while the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum and the Holst Victorian House provide indoor options. These activities often form part of a wider day out, which is why many families choose to include a party or celebration at home or in a hired venue nearby.
Why King of the Castles works well for Cheltenham summer events
At King of the Castles Gloucester, we support a wide range of summer events across Cheltenham. Customers choose us because we provide equipment that is suitable for both outdoor spaces and indoor venues if the weather changes. Our Bouncy Castles are a popular choice for garden parties and park events, while our Bounce and Slide Combo Bouncy Castles are often used when there is more space available and a higher level of activity is needed.
For younger children, our Soft Play sets are ideal for shaded areas or indoor halls, giving toddlers a safe place to play. Many Cheltenham customers also book from our Party Packages range, which makes planning easier by combining several items into one setup. These packages are especially useful for busy summer weekends when there are lots of guests and different age groups attending.
