In today’s episode of All Things Cheltenham, Reg Lee rounds up the biggest local stories shaping the town right now. The headline news is the forthcoming closure of Cavendish House, a Cheltenham institution for more than 200 years, due to shut its doors on 31 January 2026. Reg explores what this could mean for nearby traders, the town centre, and the future of this landmark site – and invites listeners to have their say on what they’d like to see it become.

Elsewhere in the episode, Reg looks at the approval of a new car wash centre, the closure of Animate Pet Supply, and the arrival of Rituals, reflecting the ever-changing face of Cheltenham’s retail scene. There’s also a packed update on what’s happening around town, including the upcoming Cheltenham Run, changes to local recycling systems, a call to support the Cotswold RDA riding school, job opportunities at the Cheltenham races, and celebrations for Olive Chiropractic’s five-year anniversary.
