For anyone whose wanderlust has been sparked by programmes such as Race Around the World, the festival offers a chance to turn inspiration into action. From practical advice to creative insight, the event celebrates travel in all its forms while highlighting Gloucestershire’s growing reputation as one of only three key UK hubs for top travel companies.
A varied programme of talks and masterclasses will see travel personalities share real-world experiences, expert advice and personal stories from around the globe. From adventure holidays and city breaks to sustainable travel, cultural experiences, cruising, safaris, wildlife tours, walking, cycling, skiing and snow trips, the Cheltenham Travel Festival brings a world of travel ideas together in one place.
Visitors can also explore a curated Travel Photography Gallery and vote for their favourite image for a chance to win a prize. Alongside this, an immersive virtual reality experience from award-winning JRNY Travel Magazine allows guests to feel destinations rather than simply see them, stepping into cinematic landscapes and cultural moments designed to inspire curiosity and emotion.
Exclusive festival-only offers, exhibitor discounts and competitions complete the experience, with prizes including a free holiday and Fortnum & Mason hampers. The Cheltenham Travel Festival invites visitors to see the world differently and start planning their next adventure.
