Witcombe Cider Festival – Set up back in 2012 the Witcombe Cider Festival in the Brockworth area of Gloucester takes place in the Summer of each year. It sees music and cider lovers coming together to enjoy the August Bank HOliday weekend with some great ciders and music from the likes of Lethal Bizzle, Artful Dodger and Ella Eyre amongst many other incredible artists. It is thought that over 10,000 will visit the festival of the bank holiday period. It has come a long way since its first year when 200 people met in the local village hall to enjoy tasting some regional ciders and listen to some music. Each year the festival grows and it has now moved to a new site in Brockworth that will allow the festival to grow further.
Cheltenham Music Festival – each year four different festivals take place throughout the year in Cheltenham all set up by the Cheltenham Festivals organisation. The Music festival takes place in July in various locations across the town include the Montpellier Garden, Town Hall and Pittville Pump Rooms. Tickets for events can be bought in advance from the Festival website. Music lovers can enjoy pieces from soloists and groups as well as full orchestral pieces.
Lakefest – this is probably one of the region’s largest festivals that takes place at Eastnor Castle each year. The popularity of the festival is such that tickets regularly sell out in advance of the event. This year it takes place between the 8th and 11th August with the Early Bird tickets reportedly already having sold out. Having originated in 2011 the festival line up for this year includes The Kaiser Chiefs, Red Hot Chilli Pipers and Sophie Ellis-Bexter.
