Cheltenham's International Street Market returns to the town for the 17th time this week.

From Thursday 4th to Sunday 7th May, discover a bustling gourmet's paradise along with a range of craft stalls. The market will have an international feel and will offer a selection of clothing and handcrafted items, alongside specialist ingredients and indulgent treats to take home, as well as plenty of stalls where you can grab a quick and tasty bite to eat.

Situated in the pedestrianised area of the Promenade (by Waterstones and Cavendish House), stalls will be offering the best of the continent's gastronomic delights and craft items. The food on offer will range from crepes and cakes for those with a sweet tooth, to barbecued treats for those craving a meat feast as well as authentic Chinese street food.

The market will open from 10am until 5.30pm on each of the four days.

Kevan Blackadder, business improvement district director (BID), said: "The market is always extremely popular in the town and we're looking forward to welcoming a wide range of stalls once again.

"Shoppers will find some great goods on sale and it is also an opportunity to visit our town centre stores at the same time."

The market has been co-ordinated by Geraud Markets, which also puts on Cheltenham's Christmas market.
