Cheltenham Festivals
51°53′24″N 2°04′41″W / 51.890°N 2.078°W Cheltenham Festivals is a registered charity that aims to bring joy, spark curiosity, connect communities, and inspire change year-round with four world-class festivals in jazz, science, music, and literature, and charitable programmes for education, community, and talent development in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.
Cheltenham Festivals is responsible for the four festivals, which include two of the country's oldest. The first Music Festival was held in 1945, followed by a Literature Festival in 1949. These were augmented by the first Jazz Festival in 1996, followed by the Science Festival in 2002.
Previously linked with the Cheltenham Borough Council, in 2006 the four festivals set out independently as they collectively became Cheltenham Festivals. As a registered charity, Cheltenham Festivals has its own marketing, education and development teams.
Cheltenham Jazz Festival was formed in 1996. It has a close relationship with BBC Radio 2.
Cheltenham's mix of international jazz icons, up-and-coming new artists and unique festival performances has seen them host some of the world's greatest musicians over a Bank Holiday weekend each May. Past performers include Jamie Cullum, Hugh Laurie, Eartha Kitt, Imelda May, Van Morrison, Stephane Grappelli and Ornette Coleman.
Jamie Cullum: "The great thing about Cheltenham Jazz Festival is that it brings together so many genres under the umbrella of jazz… I think it is one of the best Jazz Festivals in the world".
Cheltenham Science Festival was formed in 2002 and hosts an international science-based talent competition, FameLab, which attracts finalists from over 30 countries and hosts live semi-finals and a final at the Festival. The Science Festival is held in the Cheltenham Town Hall and adjacent gardens, with a tented science village built in Imperial Square.
The festival has many free activities for adults and children, including the Discover Zone in the Town Hall which provides hands-on activities. The education programme includes a series of free Christmas lectures for local schools. Past presenters include Robert Winston, Richard Dawkins, Steve Backshall, Brian Cox, Richard Hammond, Tony Robinson, Jonathon Porritt, Kevin Conrad, Colin Pillinger and Adam Hart-Davis, Peter Higgs and James Watson.
