CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2023
14th March – 17th March 2023
The Cheltenham Festival is widely recognised as the pinnacle of the jump race calendar – it is quite simply the Olympic Games of National Hunt racing. Over the four days of the meeting, the best jumpers and jockeys compete for prize money in excess of £4.7m with a feature race each day beginning with the Champion Hurdle, followed by the Queen Mother Champion Chase and culminating on Friday in the richest non-handicap jump race, the Gold Cup. Rachael Blackmore was last year’s star of the show, winning the Champion Hurdle with Honeysuckle, before claiming glory in the showpiece race the Gold Cup, on A Plus Tard. Energumene with jockey Paul Townend claimed victory in the Champion Chase, while Flooring Porter and Danny Mullins won the Stayers Hurdle.
The Facilities
‘Long Run’ Balcony Boxes
View the racing from the comfort of a balcony box, overlooking the final two fences and down towards the finishing straight. The boxes provide panoramic views of the both the course and the stunning countryside surrounding the racecourse. Private boxes are available for 40 guests, with private tables of 10 or smaller bookings can be made in shared boxes.
Platinum Suite Marquee
This luxuriously appointed marquee is situated in the hub of the Tented Village, only 50 metres from the Guinness Grandstand and minutes from the Parade Ring and finishing straight. This is a hugely popular and great-value facility providing the quintessential “Cheltenham Experience”. It is further enhanced by the popular celebrity tipster, John Francome, and the famous VIP red-dress hostess service. The marquees are situated behind the boxes and whilst they are not directly viewing the course, guests can get to the rails within a few minutes.
