An arts charity hopes to reach a record number of children as it celebrates its 80th anniversary with a string of events.
Cheltenham Festivals was founded in 1945 and has expanded from initially offering three classical music concerts in Pittville Pump Rooms, to now hosting popular literature, music, jazz, and science festivals at venues across the town.
As well as festivals, the charity offers outreach programmes in schools and hopes to introduce 80,000 children to the arts with a year-round programme of events to mark its anniversary.
Ali Mawle, co-CEO of Cheltenham Festivals, said the charity “works tirelessly… to give young people access to arts and culture”.
