About Cheltenham Creatives
A curated platform for creative businesses
Why it exists
Cheltenham is full of talented people doing thoughtful, high-quality creative work. But too often, they’re hard to find — working in isolation, or missing opportunities to collaborate locally.
Cheltenham Creatives was created to change that.
A visible, supportive ecosystem for the people quietly doing great work across the town and surrounding areas.
The idea
A curated directory and community platform, designed to:
• Make talented local creatives easier to discover
• Encourage collaboration over competition
• Strengthen the creative economy in Cheltenham
• Open up real opportunities to connect
We’re not trying to be everything. Just something genuinely useful.
A thoughtful approach
Every application is personally reviewed to make sure the directory stays useful, welcoming, and genuinely supportive.
This isn’t a quick build. It’s a long-term project — put together thoughtfully, and with care.
Who’s behind it
Founded by Pandora Taylor-Cheal, director of Happy by Design — a Cheltenham-based web design studio working with small businesses, charities, and creative brands.
After years of collaborating with talented independents across the area, Pandora saw a clear gap: somewhere simple, supportive, and well considered for local creatives to be found.
