It's gone a little bit quiet on the events-front this weekend (don't worry, it all picks up again next week) but there's still a lot going on around Cheltenham to keep you out of mischief.

The forecast is 'scattered showers' but once again, the BBC has a much more positive outlook and has some actual sunshine forecast for both Saturday and Sunday morning. Whatever the weather, if you've got some free time to spend together here's some ideas of things to do in Cheltenham this weekend.

Saturday and Sunday

The Boathouse in Pittville Park is a one-stop-shop for loads of fun activities around the park. From there you can rent golf clubs, hire a boat, book a tennis court or even grab a fishing permit and pitch up on a fishing jetty for the afternoon. For tennis court bookings you can also book online (particularly recommended if you have a specific time in mind). Prices in image below:

After a quiet period, the strawberries are back in full effect at Primrose Vale where you can stock up on a range of delicious fruit and make a day of it in the play area and cafe. If you're a raspberry fan, make sure to visit soon as there's usually a crop-lull during August. Find out more
