About
The Cheltenham Music Festival runs 9–17 July 2027 across the town's venues — Cheltenham Town Hall for the biggest evening concerts, Pittville Pump Room for chamber and recital work, and smaller venues (Everyman Theatre, All Saints Church, Parabola Arts Centre) for the festival's contemporary and world-music programme. Running since 1945, it's one of the oldest classical festivals in Britain and specialises in new commissions and world premieres.
The 2027 festival maintains the mix of headline orchestral programmes (visiting international ensembles), UK-championing programmes for new music, and daytime free events. Programme published in April; tickets go on sale early May.
