A very merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

A Very Merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

'Tis just weeks before Christmas, and here at Cheltenham Festivals we're beginning to feel distinctly, well, Festive! To celebrate this jolliest of seasons we asked the stars of this year's Literature Festival to share with us a special Christmas Memory.

Every day of advent we'll be unwrapping a different Christmas Memory for your delight and delectation. And as an extra-special treat, every Festive-Friday we'll be hearing from our Festival Directors and giving away Festive-al prizes galore!

So sit back, grab a mince pie and unwrap a very special Festive-al memory...

15th December: Walking in a winter wonder-land...

As Christmas creeps closer, we look back to the Science Festival in June with a very scientific themed advent competition. 

Today's prize is simply out of this world - a copy of The Wonders of the Universe book by Professor Brian Cox. This beautiful book accompanies the acclaimed BBC TV series, and would be the perfect gift for any fan of outerspace. To be in with a chance of winning the book and a festival goody bag just identify today's mystery star.


Today's mystery star is a writer with a passion for science who Guest Directed this year's Science Festival. We asked him what he thinks is the most important scientific breakthrough, press play to hear his answer…
