The festivals in Cheltenham attract thousands of people each year from local to international, pumping millions of pounds into Cheltenham’s economy and benefitting the towns local businesses – but do people have the wrong impression of the those who attend the celebrations in the Regency town?
Cheltenham has always been a vibrant town, with a festival tradition. The oldest being the Festival of Performing Arts, which has been going on for more than 100 years. This was followed by the Cheltenham music, literature, jazz, and science festivals, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and now over 25 significant landmark calendar events a year.
Cheltenham’s festivals appeal to both a regional market, a local market, but also a national market. So with the literature festival, for example, they do get a lot of people from in and around Gloucestershire but a significant number that travelled from outside the immediate area. But who exactly are the people that attend the festivals?
Here’s a brief history of how Cheltenham became the great festival town we know today! pic.twitter.com/Jozc6RJ8pc— Parklife Culture and Identity (@Parklifei) October 25, 2019
The first thought for many people when they think of Cheltenham, is the regency architecture of the town. The glorious buildings that line the streets of Montpellier and the promenade or the iconic and grand Pittville Pump Room. This leads people to the common misconception that the town and the festivals are ‘posh’ or ‘exclusive’ to certain people.
In a survey of people between 18-40, 100% of people thought that the festivals were aimed at a middle-classed audience. It was also repeatedly stated that people want cheaper tickets with no option of paid membership and exclusivity as all the better seated tickets for the bigger events are sold out by the time they go on general sale.
There was also mutual agreement in the comments section of the survey that there needs to be events in more deprived areas of Cheltenham and not just the main strip.
An anonymous user answered: “Involve the whole of Cheltenham, not just the picture postcard version”.
When speaking to Kevan Blackadder from Cheltenham’s BID about the misunderstanding of the intended audience for the festivals he said:
“I think there’s a perception among some Cheltonians that they’re not for them. And then they do feel a bit elitist and I know that Cheltenham festivals is trying to tackle that”.
“There is more work being done in West Cheltenham to try to ensure that there is engagement and so they understand that actually the events are for them, I think that’s really evident is with the Science Festival, because a lot of that happens in the town hall as well as well as on all the sites”.
Is there a stereotype for the festival-goers in #Cheltenham ? @KevanBlackadder from @CheltenhamBID explains how this idea is being tackled for 2020 🙌 pic.twitter.com/txWrA4TFUc

Kevan seems hopeful that there will be more work done in 2020 to represent and include the people that aren’t based in the centre of Cheltenham:
“It’s really important that areas like Hesters Way are involved where they can. I thought it was great this year, that Cheltenham Paint Festival did some brilliant work on the sides of the flats in Hesters Way, and I think that’s had a really good reaction out there”.
Hopefully with this in mind, the festivals in 2020 will be more accessible to those who often don’t get the chance to attend, or are put off by the ‘posh’ stereotype.

I manage a vape store submission site and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the United States that also offers CBD product lines. A Calendar month later on, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been limited and have asked us to take out PayPal as a payment solution from our vape shop web directory. We do not offer for sale CBD goods like CBD oil. We solely provide web marketing professional services to CBD companies. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Reputable Wellness Store and if you take a close look, you will see that they offer for sale a comparatively substantial range of CBD product lines, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a settlement solution. It seems that PayPal is applying twos sets of rules to many different companies. Because of this constraint, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related web site. This has constricted my payment options and presently, I am heavily reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have gotten in touch with a lawyer from a Magic Circle law office in The city of london and they stated that what PayPal is doing is entirely against the law and inequitable as it ought to be applying an uniform criterion to all companies. I am yet to check with one more lawyer from a US law practice in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. In the meantime, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could offer me with alternative payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.

I look after a vape store directory site and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the United States that additionally advertises CBD product lines. A Month later, PayPal has contacted use to claim that our account has been restricted and have requested us to remove PayPal as a payment solution from our vape store web directory. We do not sell CBD products such as CBD oil. We merely offer advertising and marketing professional services to CBD firms. I have taken a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Reputable Wellness Store and if you take a close peek, you will witness that they promote a fairly considerable series of CBD items, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a payment solution. It emerges that PayPal is employing twos sets of rules to many different firms. As a result of this restriction, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related online site. This has restrained my payment possibilities and right now, I am greatly contingent on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have consulted with a solicitor from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they said that what PayPal is undertaking is definitely unlawful and discriminatory as it should be applying a systematic benchmark to all companies. I am yet to speak to one more legal representative from a US law firm in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. For the time being, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that work with CBD firms.
