Cheltenham Festival Hospitality
For more than two centuries, Cheltenham Racecourse has been the centrepiece of British jump racing. Set against the sweeping Cotswold Hills, it remains one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world. Each March, it attracts champion horses, elite jockeys and thousands of passionate racegoers for four days of unforgettable entertainment.
The Cheltenham Festival is the highlight of the National Hunt season. It delivers world class competition, a unique atmosphere and moments of sporting drama that stay with you long after the final race. From the famous Cheltenham roar to the tension before the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the Festival brings together everything that makes racing so special.
Across the four days, spectators enjoy a packed schedule of Grade 1 races. These include the Champion Hurdle, the Champion Chase, the Stayers’ Hurdle and the legendary Gold Cup, where the best horses in the sport tackle the famous Cheltenham hill.
