History of Event
The first concert under Cheltenham North Rotary Club sponsorship took place in December 1977 in Cheltenham Town Hall and continued to attract large audiences and raise funds for charity for the next 35 years.
Eventually, the cost of staging the concerts began to increase significantly to the extent that the funds raised for charity were static or even decreasing.
In 2012 it was decided to relocate the concert to the beautiful Princess Hall of Cheltenham Ladies College and to revamp the programme. Revenues soared and have permitted Cheltenham North Rotary to donate substantial sums to a large number of local, national and international charities supported by Rotary.
