The Pittville Pump Room is a Grade I listed building completed in 1838, designed by architect John Buonaparte Papworth. Originally built as a spa complex during the Regency era, it represented the height of fashionable spa architecture. The building’s purpose was to provide Cheltenham residents and visitors with access to the town’s famed mineral waters, believed to have restorative properties. While no longer functioning as a spa, the Pump Room now serves as a multi-purpose arts venue hosting concerts, exhibitions, and events.
