What to do and see in Cheltenham, England: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

June 28, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Cheltenham was just your average, sleepy town until the discovery of a spring in 1716, after which it became Britain's most popular spa town. (Like Palm Springs without the casinos.) Local Cheltonians have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. After taking in the waters at the Pittville Pump Room (great name for a spa), check out the Art Gallery and Museum to learn about the social history of Cheltenham.

Sibling Distillery

Sibling Distillery is a family-run gin distillery started by four young siblings who grew up in their family brewery. Since launching in June 2014 the distillery has gained notoriety by being one of the only distilleries in the country to make their own spirits from start to finish, with no neutral spirit or mass produced base. Come and meet the siblings for a tour and tasting.

Reviewed By buzz7763 - Lydney, United Kingdom

Great evening at the everyman, lovely venue and, friendly staff. So easy to park by, we walked down a few steps and we were in the theatre. We were front row of the upper circle, right in the middle, so we had a great view of the stage. Al Murray was very entertaining, and the chandelier was impressive ???? my son had an ice cream which was £3 and very small, but all in all a great evening

Cotswold Farm Park

Sitting in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cotswold Farm Park has a long-standing reputation for a fun-filled day out. Visitors of all ages can interact closely with the animals and learn about farming, past and present. As the home of rare breed conservation, visitors can meet over 50 flocks and herds of farm animals, including Gloucestershire Old Spot Pigs and Highland cattle. The indoor barns can be enjoyed all year round, as they are undercover and protected from the elements. With an adventure playground, Farm Safari, Maze, Tractor School, Sand pits and Jumping pillows, there’s lots of entertainment for children of all ages. The on-site restaurant, serving seasonal food and Adam’s own beer, is a hit with the adults. There’s plenty to offer outside the Farm Park too. Experience the stunning diversity of animals and plants by completing the two mile Wildlife walk, or extend your stay by booking a pitch on the campsite. We hope to see you soon!

A really enjoyable day at Adam’s Farm. This was a return visit for us, and the mix of animals and play activities kept all the family very well entertained. Additionally, the rare breed sausage and chips went down very well indeed with everyone - and the restaurant improvements since last time was a welcome improvement Highly recommend
