Inside Information in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire*

Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• mainstreet outside regent arcade nice flower pots
• Outside the Regent Arcade has long been a meetingplace. However, it can at times be saturated with townies, over persistant charity collectors with luminous vests, ambulance chasers, and the odd hari krishna.
• Cheltenham race course. ive had a fantastic shag on one of those horse fences and also within the confinds of a tent on that hallowed ground! ill never be able to watch the races from there again without smiling to myself!! i do recommend that you go to Greenbelt which is held there every year.its a great excuse to get paraletic n laid!!
• the beer gardens!!! ah the memories...
• Regent Arcade entrance, Boots
• the beer gardens is heaving in summertime, they have a little bar area too which sells hard and soft drinks and ice lollies.
• when was the information about 34 albert place written? used to live there and have to agree parties there were excellent..still the same??
• Your Site stinks. The comments you have published about Cheltenham are offensive and you should be ashamed. Also, try to employ a web/graphic designer who isn't a brain-dead, unimaginatve moron.
• Outside Boots, Sandford Park.....
• Beer gardens. Pizza Hut
• 34 Albert Place is NOT a hook-up spot and certainly is NOT the place for parties. Albert Place is a conservative residential street inhabited by elderly people, families and working professionals. Students don't live there. You would be VERY bored if you ventured down to Albert Place in search of a party.
• Pittville Park is always a good'un - the opportunity to have a kickaround (football or townies!), beautiful in summer. Pump Room also - sits majestically on the top of a hill, looks spectacular when lit up at night!
• The Royal well...a fave for the boy racers...perhaps a different view of cheltenham?
• 34 albert place has the best parties but will be torn down very soon so make a visit.
• The winding avenue that is known to some as Albert Place. The door of 34 is a must-see for those wishing to fulfil their Cheltenham visitation.
• The beer gardens...outside Boots...um...
• Montpellier Gardens is popular with a wide range of people.
• Under the Regent Arcade Arch or on the corner by Thomas Cook.
• Boots corner tends to be fairly rough at night and has been known to be a trouble spot. Regent Street, due to the large numbers of bars and pubs, is full of young people sitting around on benches watching the world go by.
• Boots corner, outside Boots where the Promenade meets the High Street.
• Sandford Park in the afternoons. M & G on Sundays.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
