Racecourse Guide
The home of National Hunt racing, Cheltenham offers the supreme test for chasers and hurdlers. The Cheltenham Festival each March provides one of the world’s greatest sporting spectacles featuring 28 races over four days, including the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle. In addition to the Festival, Cheltenham also stages twelve other quality days of racing and is a track that suits horses with a combination of guts and stamina.
There are three different courses at Cheltenham – the Old Course, the New Course and the Cross Country course, which is laid out inside the main track. The Old Course is slightly sharper than the New Course, and tends to favour strong travellers more than what they do on the New Course. The New Course hurdles track has just two flights in the final seven furlongs, which provides more emphasis on stamina.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
For a finer, premium experience there are plenty of hospitality options available. Restaurant options on non-Festival racedays vary by fixture; at the November Meeting, for example, they include:
- Festival Restaurant
- National Hunt Room Restaurant
- Gold Cup Restaurant
For the 2027 Cheltenham Festival, there are a huge eleven restaurants to choose from:
- The Mandarin Restaurant
- Chez Roux Restaurant
- Cleeve Suite Restaurant
- Stein’s
- Final Fence Restaurant
- Four Eighty Restaurant
- Gold Cup Restaurant
- Horseshoe Pavilion Restaurant
- Moscow Flyer Restaurant
- Panoramic Restaurant
