Barely has Cheltenham recovered from the excesses of the Gold Cup and along comes another event in the town’s glittering calendar. And what better place to rest your weary head during the proceedings of this year’s star-packed Cheltenham Jazz Festival than at the gorgeous Cowley Manor? Taking place from 29 April through to Sunday 4 May, both new talent and old (jazz) hands will be taking to the stage, while gig-goers will be washing down the performances with some expertly mixed cocktails back at the hotel’s sleek bar. Highlights of the week include the Cowley Manor sponsored Van Morrison concert at The Centaur on Wednesday 30 April and Eartha Kitt’s only UK festival performance. As well as gigs in the town, Cowley are playing host to an array of talent, including a French Jazz Evening on Thursday 1 May, featuring the delectable sounds of Fringe jazz quartet ‘Swing with Paris’, which includes a three-course dinner, an overnight stay and a full English breakfast the next morning to help soothe away the previous evening’s cocktail excesses. Prices start from £325 per room.
The bar at Cowley Manor is open nightly from 6pm until midnight throughout the week, and we’re sure you’ll be rubbing well-dressed shoulders with some of the event’s more charismatic and gorgeous performers and attendees.
