Cheltenham High Street shops are a different mix from the Promenade's fashion names: delis, a health food shop, a jeweller, a running shop and a craft shop up a flight of stairs. These are the nine High Street shops in our directory worth a special trip. The street also has chains we do not list yet, and Regent Arcade, between the High Street and Regent Street, has its own guide. Opening hours were checked on each shop's own website on 21 October 2026. Where a shop has no website, or its site could not be read, we say so.
