Plan A Weekend Away In Cheltenham | United Kingdom
Cheltenham is famous for hosting the races but this town has a lot more going for it. Located in Gloucestershire in the south west Cheltenham is perfect for a weekend getaway. Cheltenham is a spa town and has been a popular town to visit since the races began here in 1815, but there is much more to do in Cheltenham than watch the races. Here is a guide to planning the perfect weekend away in Cheltenham-

The Screening Rooms

What To See
Cheltenham Town Hall
Cheltenham town hall is an impressive building that was built in 1902 to provide a place to hold various balls and concerts. Concerts and evenings of dancing are still regularly hosted here but it is worth going to see the building alone even if you don’t attend an event.

Holst Museum
This impressive museum is the birth place of Gustav Holst the composer of The Planets Suite. Visitors enjoy viewing the home where Holst was born while the helpful and friendly staff provide interesting and useful information.
Where To Stay
When planning your trip away for the best experience I would recommend staying in a central hotel in Cheltenham. Depending on the type of trip you are looking for a central hotel means you will make the most of your trip, having the best of Cheltenham right on your door step with many attractions within walking distance. If you are looking for a peaceful country retreat there are some beautiful hotels in the countryside in Cheltenham, but be prepared to have to travel to attractions and restaurants etc.
