Steam Train to Cheltenham Racecourse

Enjoy a 30 minute journey through the beautiful Cotswold countryside pulled by a magnificent steam train locomotive.

Our guests tell us that the steam train makes their day extra special. It is compared to taking a helicopter to the British Grand Prix.  You will miss all of the stress of the traffic congestion and car parking.  You would never know you are going to a major sporting event and, once you have tried it, you will never want to travel to the racecourse any other way.

Why take the steam train?

Most of the meetings at Cheltenham have some congestion, but travelling in and out of the Festival can be very busy. You could be queuing for between 2 -3 hours to get out of the racecourse car parks.

Winchcombe is an area completely free of traffic and with car parking available. The station can be reached from any part of the UK without going near the centre of Cheltenham.

Your party will all arrive together and stress-free, having been able to relax and read their racing papers in comfort. Our Irish band will be performing at Winchcombe Station to create a party atmosphere and set the mood for a great day at Cheltenham. There is a full cash buffet service available on the steam train where you can purchase beers, wines and champagne.

You can add something special to your journey with our hospitality packages, entrance ticket or accommodation packages. 

Please call us on 01825 760065 for more details.
