Bringing festival vibes to town centre, The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham is hosting Summer Jam: The Lakefest Warmup this July 2025 — featuring top talent handpicked from the Lakefest lineup, plus finalists from the Road to Lakefest competition.
Taking place from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 July 2025, the free event gives visitors a taster of what's to come at the popular music festival at Eastnor Castle in August, with three days of free music and family entertainment.
The Brewery Quarter's eclectic mix of bars and restaurants are also serving up cocktails, craft beers, ciders and tasty food to tuck into.
Headlining the event are The Voice UK star Vince Freeman and local favourites The Mark Walby Band and Camilla Lewington; with local artists Ozma, Man Like Bro, Crispin, Make Mine A Double and Jacob Coley also on the lineup.
While the six finalists from the Road to Lakefest competition will also be battling it out for a place on the main stage.
On top of the packed music lineup, there's a silent disco for your own personal party under the stars on Saturday night; daytime performances from the I-Sing Choir and Syren Belly Dancers; live comedy and magic; plus arts and crafts activities for little ones, too.
Plus, if you've still not booked tickets, there's an official Lakefest ticket office on-site.
Summer Jam: The Lakefest Warmup is free to attend, but only food and drinks purchased from The Brewery Quarter will be permitted in the festival area.
Guests wanting to dine at one of The Brewery Quarter's restaurants during the weekend are encouraged to book in advance, as it's bound to be busy!
