Late Night Shopping in Cheltenham
Thursday 10 December 2026
Christmas Late-Night Shopping returns to Cheltenham on Thursday 10 December 2026 for the second of two festive shopping evenings. With the town centre twinkling under Christmas lights, shoppers can browse independent boutiques and high street favourites for gifts and stocking fillers.
Participating stores include John Lewis & Partners, Marks & Spencer, Søstrene Grene and HMV, with closing times of 7pm or 8pm depending on the store. Selected shops will add to the festive cheer with mince pies, mulled wine, prosecco, competitions and visits from Christmas characters.
Between shops, families can catch A Cheltenham Christmas: From Snow to Starlight, the free light projection that brings the historic façade of the Municipal Offices to life with snowy scenes, sparkling animation and music.
Free parking from 3pm is available at participating Cheltenham Borough Council town centre car parks, funded by Cheltenham BID. Regent Arcade car park is excluded, and Town Centre East car park closes at 8pm.
