These are a few of our most popular venues:

Big Classical

Dining Hall

The grand Dining Hall provides a perfect venue for dinners and receptions. The wood panelling and stained-glass windows of the original Chapel mean that this room is full of character, and always a fantastic talking point.

As well as being the hub of day to day life at College, the Dining Hall has been the venue for many different events in recent years, including hosting an edition of BBC 1’s Question Time.

Upper College Common Room

Library

Also refurbished in 2011, the Library is the hub of academic activity at Cheltenham College. It has been designed with mobile, easy to move bookshelves, making it a great space that can be used for all kinds of events.

Having hosted events such as the Headmaster’s Education Conference, it has also become central to the Cheltonian Association Christmas Fair in recent years and remains a popular venue for parents, pupils and staff members alike.

Chapel

Built in the early 1900s, Cheltenham College Chapel is a breath-taking building set in the centre of College. Used each day for the entire College to gather, the Chapel has hosted weddings, memorial services and concerts as well as numerous religious services.

Also used for choir rehearsals and residential choral courses, the Chapel has become a central point for College pupils as well as visiting courses.

The Chapel is part of our ongoing relationship with Cheltenham Festivals, hosting events for both the Cheltenham Music Festival and the Cheltenham Literature Festival in recent years.
