The Heritage Deco Café and Garden Bar Orangery opened in summer 2020 to support the local community at a time when social interaction was severely limited by the COVID19 pandemic. The government lifted planning regulations during the pandemic and the temporary orangery structures were installed during this period.

The Heritage Deco Café opened with two trestle tables under the portico, the café was an instant success with the community referring to it as its ‘lifeline’. Since opening the café has been visited by more than one million customers and has become a significant social and cultural asset for the community.

The Garden Bar Orangery used to be open every summer and would consist of tables and chairs being brought in and out each day. During the summer of 2020 we put a marquee in place to allow people to sit down and enjoy their food and drink when restrictions allowed to and no matter the weather. Due to its success we build an orangery to allow a new vibrant and fresh space to be available for customers with free live music available regularly for the community to enjoy.

The Cheltenham Trust, a not for profit, independent charity, will be seeking temporary planning permission to retain the orangeries for visitors to continue to enjoy.
