Cheltenham

Cheltenham is the home of Jump racing, hosting 16 fixtures of superb quality each year, highlighted by The Open in November and The Festival.
The Festival in March is the shining jewel in Jump racing's crown. It is four days of magic, madness and magnificence, played out on a stage framed by the breathtaking vista of the Cotswold Hills. It features a cast of the best horse, jockeys and trainers playing to an audience of 220,000, all of who are determined to have the time of their lives.
For racing's professionals, victory at The Festival is how greatness is measured and how careers are defined.
Witness the sheer elation of winning connections as they return to the cheers of the crowd and you are seeing dreams fulfilled and years of planning and effort coming to fruition.
The Festival is one of those rare events that exude pleasure, passion and fun in equal measure. For anyone who appreciates top class sport and the opportunity to share a special experience with like-minded people, it truly is a life affirming four days.
