Looking for accommodation?
We have a lovely 2-bed cottage available for the whole week of the Cheltenham Festival. It’s ideally located for the racecourse, with access via Cleeve Hill and Prestbury - perfect for Cheltenham Festival hospitality clients. £750.00 for the week.
Looking for hospitality?
We have full hospitality packages for marquees and boxes and availability on our steam train transfer on all days. If you already have tickets, you could consider using the steam train. This is the best way to get to the Festival. It arrives at the back of the Grandstand and you miss all the traffic and chaos in the car parks after racing.
The Gold Cup
Kauto Star and Denman are still vying for favourite for the Gold Cup, but Pricewise has tipped Imperial Commander who has shortened from 20/1 to 14/1 for the showpiece race. |
Passengers can enjoy a relaxing journey aboard
the Orient Express, with a Champagne Brunch served on the
outward journey with a three course dinner served with fine
wines on the return journey, back to London Victoria. Luxury
return coach transfers will transport guests to and from the
Cheltenham Racecourse where guests can enjoy the racing from
the Grandstand.
