Egg-citement builds for Cheltenham's Big Easter Weekend

Preparations are underway for Cheltenham¹s Big Easter Weekend 21, 22 and 24 March. Musicians and street performers confirmed include the Roy Kirby Paragon Jazz Band, Master of None, Thomas Trilby, Edmund Tahl and local dance group The Coady Crew. Live music will be performed in the Promenade, High Street and The Brewery plus a variety of entertainers moving around the town centre streets.

Other attractions include an Easter Bonnet Parade and Easter Egg Hunt that children are invited to take part in.

Martin Quantock, Manager of Cheltenham Business Partnership said ³I¹m delighted that town centre businesses are being given this opportunity to recoup some of the business that was lost during the summer floods. We are hoping that the quality entertainment and activities that we have going on in the town will increase the footfall and make Cheltenham THE town to visit during the Easter holidays².

The event is being funded by the South West Regional Development Agency, to help boost the town¹s economy following losses suffered last summer by retailers, hotels and restaurants.
