Cheltenham Festivals is a registered charity set up in 2006.  The charity brings together the Jazz, Science, Music, and Literature festivals under one banner.

The Music festival has been ongoing from 1945, and the Literature Festival from 1949.  The two events have already associated Cheltenham with the British cultural scene.   With the addition of the Jazz Festival (added 1996) and the Science Festival (added 2002) Cheltenham has garnered a reputation for encouraging up-and-coming, and serious, cultural work.

The festivals are held throughout the calendar year as follows:-

April-May: Cheltenham Jazz Festival

June: The Times Cheltenham Science Festival

July: Cheltenham Music Festival

October: The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival
