Springtime is one of the best times to visit Montpellier in Cheltenham, with longer days, trees in blossom, and plenty of lively events… What’s not to love?
If you’re planning a stay (or just thinking about it), here are some of our favourite things to do this season.
Step outside and soak up the charm of Cheltenham’s Montpellier District – known for its elegant Regency architecture, stylish boutiques, and relaxed cafe culture. It’s the kind of place where you can wander without a plan and enjoy what the area has to offer.
A stroll through Montpellier Gardens is a must on a sunny day. With its tree-lined paths, open green spaces, and regular events, it’s perfect for a picnic, a quiet time in the sun, or simply watching the world go by. From here, you’re right in the heart of everything Montpellier has to offer, making it a desirable destination to enjoy for leisure, corporate stays or even longer rentals.
Spring is when Cheltenham really comes to life. With a calendar full of events that bring a buzz to the whole town. The excitement and energy of the world-famous Cheltenham Jazz Festival, where the town fills with visitors, style, and atmosphere.
You’ll find live music spilling out into bars and gardens, pop-up events across Montpellier, and a real sense of occasion wherever you go. Whether you’re here for a specific event or just soaking up the atmosphere, spring in Cheltenham always feels lively, social, and full of energy.
Get Outdoors
Make the most of fresh spring air by heading out into the countryside. A trip up Cleeve Hill rewards you with sweeping views across Cheltenham and beyond. Beyond that, the surrounding Cotswolds are perfect for classic spring days out – think rolling hills, honey-coloured villages, and scenic drives with plenty of places to stop along the way. Whether it’s a countryside walk or a lazy pub lunch, it’s all right on your doorstep.
