Cheltenham National Hunt Festival 2012 Official VIP Horse Racing Hospitality
Tuesday 13th – Friday 16th March 2012
The Cheltenham Festival is probably the greatest race meeting of the year in the UK. It attracts genuine enthusiasts as well as corporate clients to see the greatest steeplechase racing of the calendar. One of the reasons for its great success is that it is for the champions at all National Hunt distances of between 2m and 3¼m, culminating in the Gold Cup on Friday. However, all days feature Championship races – Tuesday has the Champion Hurdle, the Wednesday sees the Queen Mothers Champion Chase, the Thursday has the Stayers Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase. Cheltenham has an amazing atmosphere. Visitors show their appreciation for every winner, whether they have backed it or not – it simply is they admire the bravery and stamina of these wonderful horses.
One of the attractions of Cheltenham is that, as with all Championship events, the same horses return year after year to defend their crowns. This is one of the things that makes this event unique, as it does not happen in flat racing as they often go to stud after achieving their initial goal. Race goers are privileged to see their favourites return year after year and to appreciate a real champion at its distance.
Transfer by steam train straight to the back of the main Grandstand
Corporate Entertainment is proud to offer for 2012 the very best hospitality facilities at the Cheltenham Festival including Grandstand box hospitality with seats over the Winning Post, Superior box hospitality with views of the last fence, Cheltenham Executive boxes and marquees which are great value for money and offer the very best in horseracing hospitality at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Corporate Entertainment Company is a major hospitality provider on all days of the Cheltenham Festival. We also own the steam train transfer which has many benefits, particularly for corporate clients. The steam train is not just a wonderful experience, but departs from a traffic-free part of Gloucestershire and delivers its passengers directly behind the main Grandstand at the racecourse. This provides a stress-free return journey which can be likened to going to the British Grand Prix by helicopter. You sit in comfort at your own table with your racing paper and all your guests arrive together. You will all arrive completely relaxed, enabling you to completely enjoy the day.
We do have a wide range of hospitality facilities to suit all budgets and preferences. We have an ideally placed marquee with great hospitality and John Francome providing humour and a few tips. We have three types of box, all with viewing balconies: The Grandstand Box with seats over the Winning Post, the Superior Box which is closer to the Winning Post and a more fixed structure than the Executive Box, which is more of a marquee structure.
Not only will you see some of the best racing in the world, but National Hunt races can take up to 10 minutes to complete, as opposed to one minute of a 5 furlong dash on the flat, and the backdrop to each race of Cleeve Hill provides a stunning canvass that makes people want to return to Cheltenham year after year.
