Step into the Regency era this December, with an enchanting lineup of free Christmas events hosted by Cheltenham's Regent Arcade.
Kicking off on Tuesday 26 November 2024 and featuring the opulence and charm of this historical period, visitors can take part in plenty of festivities, from high tea to live music.
Each Tuesday during the run up to Christmas, indulge in a leisurely afternoon of high tea in the venue's cosy, community space. Enjoy a warm cup of tea, while partaking in a friendly game of chess or piecing together a jigsaw.
Shop in elegance, with live string musicians playing in the centre every Thursday afternoon, where the Regent Arcade will come alive with beautiful melodies as you shop for the perfect gifts for loved-ones this festive season.
On Fridays, try your hand at calligraphy and learn the art of beautiful handwriting at the lettering workshop — ideal for writing Christmas lists to Santa and cards to family and friends.
Each Saturday, the shopping hub will host a series of family-friendly events, including the opportunity for little ones to decorate Christmas pudding baubles, as well as taking home a delicious pudding recipe; there'll be a magical storytelling event with enchanting fairytales; as well as the chance to create a crown fit for a royal.
If that wasn't enough, make sure you take a photo in front of the Regency-themed window vinyl and tag @regentarcadecheltenham on social media for your chance to win a £100 voucher to spend at a Regent Arcade store of your choice.
