Our membership scheme is changing

At Cheltenham Festivals we're working towards creating a world where everyone can explore and create culture. To do this, we believe in the importance of listening to the feedback of our audiences and communities and as a result we will be launching a brand-new website and changes to our memberships scheme in June 2024. You can find out more information about the changes here.

What are the benefits of a Cheltenham Festivals membership?

Your membership is a direct investment in Cheltenham Festivals’ vision of a world in which everyone can explore and create culture and helps us to keep at least 25% of our events free.
Your membership supports our Learning and Participation programmes involving 35,000 children and young people and 500 schools every year, as well as our work with the local community.
Your membership is considered a donation and will be eligible for Gift Aid, as a result we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give at no extra cost to yourself.
With a Cheltenham Festivals membership, you get priority booking to our inspiring Jazz, Science, Music and Literature Festivals.
Members are one of the first to hear about Cheltenham Festival news and receive Festival brochures, posted directly to their homes.*
