Cheltenham Racecourse description

Commercial Venue / Business Meeting Rooms / Exhibition Space / Party Venue / Team Building Venue / Wedding Venue

Extra Large (300+)

Cheltenham is at the heart of almost every aspect of Jump racing. This is the place where owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff and breeders dream of having winners. It's the place where the most important races are run. This is where many stars of the future go through the sale ring. But most of all, this is the place where the equine and human champions forge their reputations.

As always, there is much to look forward to in the season, 16 exciting days of top class Jump racing. Hundreds of thousands of racing fans come to Cheltenham every year., but you don't need to be an expert to have the time of your life.

The wide variety of experiences ranges from the relaxed feel of the meetings in October and April, to the heady excitement of The Open and the family fun of New Year's Day.
