Your Guide to Cheltenham Festival
Your guide to the jump-racing event of the year, Cheltenham Festival & Gold Cup at Cheltenham Racecourse including what to wear, where to eat, drink, stay, party and park your car in Cheltenham.
Four breath-taking days, 28 races, unrelenting prestige, competition, and excitement will take place from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 March 2025.
From the energy and thrill of Champion Day, to the stylish elegance of Style Wednesday, every day at Cheltenham is charged with an electric atmosphere. St Patrick's Thursday brings the joy and spirit of the Emerald Isle to life while Gold Cup Day brings the festival to a close with unforgettable drama and glory.
From the anticipation, the roar of the crowd, the thunder of hooves, and the rush of emotion as the world’s finest horses and jockeys battle for supremacy - there truly is nothing that feels like Cheltenham.
With thousands of people heading to our Regency spa town, our top tip for planning your visit to the Cheltenham Festival is to plan ahead. Accommodation gets booked up months, sometimes years, in advance and many restaurants accept bookings weeks in advance too.
