The iconic Pittville Pump Room will host two festive artisan markets this Christmas, with a night market featuring live music and a bar on Friday 27 November, followed by a family-friendly daytime market on Sunday 29 November.

In partnership with Watch This Space Collective, visitors can browse a carefully curated selection of gifts, crafts and artisan products from independent artists, makers and designers. From handcrafted gifts and original artwork to festive treats and unique Christmas finds, it’s the perfect opportunity to shop local, support independent businesses and find something special for everyone on your Christmas list.

The Christmas Lights Switch-On Extravaganza will light up Pittville Pump Room between 1pm and 7pm on Saturday 28 November and feature indoor crafts, the chance to meet Santa, festive face painting and, of course, hot festive food and nibbles, hot chocolates and mulled wine.

An outdoor stage will feature music, dance and the cast of the Cheltenham Everyman’s pantomime. We’ll be revealing the full stage line-up and programme of activities in the coming weeks, so be sure to follow our social media channels for the latest announcements. Celebrations will extend beyond the lights switch-on at 5pm, with Party Peeps keeping the fun going until 7pm with their popular foam party.
