About The Wheatsheaf

This is the background on The Wheatsheaf, from the venue and its listings. It books jazz, blues and mixed acts. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

The Wheatsheaf is a grassroots music venue in Leckhampton, Cheltenham. It books Jazz, Blues, Mixed.

Listing notes

The ‌‌‍Wheatsheaf Inn at 283 Old Bath Road in the Leckhampton area of Cheltenham is a Wadworth pub that doubles as a popular music venue, holding regular jazz and blues evenings, with Cheltenham's Howlers Comedy Club among the regulars. Its large, fully self-contained function room — aptly named 'The Venue' — carries genuine musical heritage: in 1958 'Club 66' opened here and Cheltenham-born Rolling Stone Brian Jones (then Lewis Brian Jones) signed the membership cards. Re-established as a live-music venue, it hosts bands regularly and provides a house PA, welcoming both originals and covers.
