History of The New Club

The New Club opened on 31st October 1874 as a private gentlemans club, offering membership to prominent citizens and higher ranks of the Armed Services. It was first located in a handsome building in the Promenade and in 1970 moved to its current historic and elegant premises in Montpellier.

It remains close to the many attractions of Regency Cheltenham with its shops, restaurants and festivals. Shortly after its inception, the club took an active part in the organisation of the famous Cheltenham steeplechase meetings. Its strong links with the racecourse are still in place today and the club provides facilities for its members' use.

Membership, today, is drawn from those active or retired in the business and professional communities. It is especially popular for those moving to Cheltenham and looking to find a friendly local club to enjoy an active social life and connect with like-minded people.
