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.
This year, with the help of the pubs and venues paying a higher percentage, sponsorship and generous donations from the public, we have been able to extend the festival with over double the amount of bands and new venues.
Many thanks to our sponsors below for this year. If you would like further information about sponsoring the festival, please get in touch
