The newly revamped Regent Arcade will see the start of the Christmas activity this weekend as Santa switches on the Christmas lights and unlocks his new grotto for the season.
The main switch is flicked on at 5.15pm after which the Santa parade continues onto the Beechwood Arcade at 5.30pm and reaches the Brewery Centre at 6.15pm.
While wishing everyone a great time at the Christmas Parade, here at The Best of Cheltenham we’d like to spare a thought for anyone working in the busy Cheltenham shopping centres this season. For anyone who has to listen to ‘Jingle Bells’ on repeat all day or wear a Santa hat for six weeks straight, we salute you!
Thank you for making Cheltenham a great place to go Christmas shopping – we do appreciate your festive frustration!
