ABOUT
 Tewkesbury Live was born in 2022 with a successful application to Gloucestershire County Council’s Build Better Market Town’s fund and the participating pubs/venues paying a percentage of the cost of the bands. It was a roaring success with pubs reporting record sales and the town busy with a festival atmosphere. We received hundreds of positive messages, comments and requests for it to become an annual event.
With the help of the pubs and venues paying a higher percentage, further grant funding, sponsorship and generous donations from the public, we have been able to run the festival for 2023, 2024, and now 2025.
Many thanks to our 2024 sponsors below. If you would like further information about sponsoring the festival, please get in touch by emailing events@tewkesburytowncouncil.gov.uk
