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...

Festival Challenge


The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival 2011 begins today and we have a challenge from our Membership Team to help you get the most out of this year's Festival...

“Go to something you love, something that looks interesting and something you’ve never heard of before”

That’s the tip from one of our Members for a perfect Lit Fest, and whilst I’m already set to go to things I love (Downton Abbey) and that look interesting (well, there’s been a lot about Wallis Simpson this year), I’ve not yet booked in to things I’ve never heard of.

With up to 50 events a day, what happens if you take a chance with a random event for an hour?  That’s what I’ll be doing, throughout the Festival.  Armed with a brochure, a blindfold and a pin (well, almost) I’ll be discovering the Festival’s hidden gems…

What have you discovered at the Festival?  Tweet, send us your reviews…
