From humble origins to a buzzing 21st Century town, Cheltenham has thrived through centuries of change. As ‘Britain’s most complete Regency town’, famous for its top-class educational facilities and world-famous festivals, with beautiful countryside on its doorstep, it’s no surprise that Cheltenham is regularly voted one of the best places to live in the UK.
Dubbed the Cultural Capital of the Cotswolds, the town is renowned for its retail, restaurant and cultural offer. Footfall is buoyant, town centre vacancy rates are low, and the town is a popular destination for a wide and affluent catchment. The town’s many fantastic accommodation providers would testify to Cheltenham’s deserved reputation as a popular weekend getaway destination.
Cheltenham has a rich and pioneering cultural history, hosting the world’s first Literature Festival, being the birthplace of world-famous composer Gustav Holst, and building the first British jet-powered plane. The town continues to inspire the creation of many technological and cultural developments which have the potential to change the world.
Top Class Education
Cheltenham’s schools and academic institutions are widely regarded as amongst the very best in the country. We have an incredible choice of high performing state and independent schools, many of which see both national and international students choose Cheltenham for its academic opportunities.
Cheltenham is also home to several of the University of Gloucestershire and Gloucestershire College campuses. Our education providers work closely with the local business community to develop the workforce of the future.
