PITTVILLE PUMP ROOM 01242 528 764 | www.cheltenhamtrust.org.uk/weddings The Cheltenham Trust is the guardian of the historical Cheltenham Town Hall and Pittville Pump Room. As the lead provider of culture, heritage, arts and leisure in Cheltenham the Trust ensures that these iconic venues are tended to in every aspect and, most importantly, hosts the most lavish weddings, dances and banquets in Gloucestershire! Steeped in history and tradition, these venues offer a timeless Regency grandeur complete with breathtaking architectural detail. Pittville Pump Room is the jewel in Cheltenham’s heritage crown – a Grade I listed Regency gem. Opened in 1830, it was Cheltenham’s largest and last spa to be built. Outside, a covered colonnade, lined with ionic pillars, overlooks the sweeping lawns and the lake of Pittville Park, offering ample beautiful settings for those all-important photographs. The landmark venue boasts a magnificent hall, built as a ballroom, featuring the famed central dome decorated with ornate plasterwork from which hangs a beautiful crystal chandelier. It’s the perfect place to step back in time. Picture the elegant dancers here, hear music from the bandstand, and feel the eras of rich history that surround you. Lined on three sides by a colonnade of ionic pillars, it’s filled with an abundance of natural light. Here, you and your 200 guests have the opportunity to make your own mark on the venue’s rich history as you say “I do.” The Apse is a semi-circular room connected to the Main Hall, an ideal ceremony space for a more intimate feel. The surrounding ionic columns accentuate the venue’s regal sense of grandeur. The Apse also contains the original spa water pump, where the waters of Cheltenham were once taken. It can host 50 nearest and dearest. The Oval Room, which can also accommodate up to 50, is a beautifully ornate room named for its shape. With large windows letting an abundance of natural light flood in, it’s ideal for a small elegant ceremony or as a private bridal suite. All three spaces are available for ceremonies and celebrations. The Trust offers a variety of upgrades to its packages including food tasting, lighting, decor and more. It also offers kitchen buyouts if you prefer your own caterer. Spotlight on... EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE Tie the knot in a local hotspot 15 LOCAL VENUES
