Cheltenham Pubs With Play Areas
A pub with a play area is the holy grail of outdoor summer socialising for parents who can enjoy a G&T, pint or soft drink in peace while the little ones are entertained.
We’re fortunate to have several pubs in and around Cheltenham that have both large gardens and play equipment for the kids to burn off a bit of energy.
Here’s our round up of Cheltenham pubs with play areas, if you know of any more - please get in touch.
