Fun for all the family is being promised at this year’s Montpellier Day Street Fair on Sunday 30th June.
Montpellier traders and businesses are hosting the event where you’ll be able to browse and buy at over 70 stalls of arts and crafts, gifts, homeware, clothes, food and drink.
The fair, from 11am to 5pm on Sunday 30th June, is being held in aid of Sue Ryder Cheltenham. You’ll be able to enjoy live bands, buskers, children’s entertainers and fun fair.
A raffle with exciting prizes donated by Montpellier traders will be running all day. Tickets are available to buy from shops before the event, and on the day from the Raffle Stall (opposite Neal’s Yard Remedies)
Montpellier is the most historic shopping district in Cheltenham, if not the country – The first covered shopping Arcade built in 1830 still exists. The area owes its existence to the town’s Regency spa days when Cheltenham capitalised on the popularity of ‘taking the waters.’ The name Montpellier was fashionably taken from the famous French city which was part of the Grand Tour and was renowned for ‘health and education.’
Many new businesses have recently opened in this vibrant area and Montpellier traders hope to welcome more over the coming months.
Montpellier Association Chairman, Tom Noori said, ‘Montpellier is a district packed with independent shops, bars and restaurants. Montpellier Day celebrates the area and local businesses whilst raising money for charity. I hope it also puts it at the front of everyone’s minds as their first destination to support independent family run businesses, to shop eat and drink.’
