TWO Cheltenham pubs will host a music and craft jamboree this weekend.

A community fair will take place at the Norwood Arms and Exmouth Arms in Bath Road on Saturday and Sunday.

With local bands strutting their stuff and a number of traders hawking locally-made crafts, the venues will be transformed into hives of activity.

As part of the event, the official opening of the Norwood Triangle will take place at noon on Saturday, 200 years to the day after the Leckhampton tram road was opened.

Wendy Ellyat, of Cheltenham Connect – the group organising the festival – said: "It's going to be a fantastic couple of days. There is loads going on and there will be something for everyone.

"We've got more than 20 live music acts at both venues, as well as a number of stalls.

"There will also be a treasure hunt for youngsters in shops along Bath Road."

The festival will take place from 10am to 6pm on both days.
