Prepare for a scrumping good time! The inaugural Cheltenham Cider Festival is coming to town this summer.

Get ready to scrump and groove! This May 2025 Gloucestershire's newest music and food festival lands in Cheltenham for two days packed with fun for the whole family.

From the people who bring Lakefest to nearby Ledbury each year, Cheltenham Cider Festival is set to take place on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May 2025 and will see a lineup of musicians take to the stage at Cheltenham North Rugby Club while ticket holders sample a huge selection of cider from local breweries, alongside an array of sausages to really bring out the crisp cider flavours.

And if all the cider and sausages aren't west country enough for you... legendary band The Wurzels are headlining!

The rest of the musical lineup includes dancefloor filler Mark Walby and a DJ set from Bez of the Happy Mondays.

The festival is also a great opportunity to catch some up-and-coming talent, too, with the Road to Lakefest competition inviting 18 artists and bands to battle it out for votes to secure a place on the lineup at Eastnor Castle this August.

Topping off the musical offering is the Ugly Ducklin dance tent takeover — expect high-energy beats covering a fusion of house, disco and electronic anthems to have you dancing from day to night.

Tickets for Cheltenham Cider Festival 2025 cost £19 per adult per day; £30 per adult for the whole weekend; or £80 per two adults and two children under 18-years-old for the entire weekend.
