Cheltenham Festival
The attractive Regency spa town of Cheltenham is one of the leading venues for cultural festivals and The Times Literature Festival, established in 1949, enjoys unprecedented success. Last year more than 400 writers flocked to Cheltenham to take part in the biggest and most varied programme to date. 2008 will be no exception, and we are delighted to be able to offer Oldie readers some of the best lectures available over this short break.
