Luxury accommodation for Cheltenham Festival
In the centre of Cheltenham itself, the famed racecourse hosts four days of world-class race events. Pick a winner then celebrate in one of the many track-side venues.
This glamorous annual sports festival is hosted by the Jockey Club and has been welcoming fans of equine events for around 200 years, and these days there’s so much more to do than spectate the races from the infamous Grandstand. If you pop along to watch the horses being saddled up at the Pre-Parade Ring, you’ll also get a sneak preview of the gee-gees. Then you can place your bets at one of the many shops around the course or via a bookmaker in the betting ring, before taking your places to see (and hear) those magnificent hooves thundering by.
