The major venue for entertainment is the Everyman Theatre , which is the premier sightseeing attraction of Cheltenham. You'll find a lot more theater at the Playhouse, Bath Road (tel. 01242/522852; www.playhousecheltenham.org), which presents new local, amateur productions of drama, comedy, dance, and opera staged at the dizzying pace of every 2 weeks. Tickets are £6 to £18 ($12-$36).
Otherwise, the best center for nocturnal affairs is Moda, 33-35 Albion St. (tel. 01242/570583), which is entered from High Street. It offers three floors of fun, with loud music blaring everything from R&B to hits from the Reagan era. Cover ranges from £3 to £5 ($6-$10), but it's most often free if you enter before 10pm. Moda is open Monday and Wednesday to Saturday 9pm to 3am.
