Four days of championship jump racing at Prestbury Park in mid-March, and the loudest crowd in British sport.

Cheltenham is where National Hunt racing settles its arguments. Four days in the middle of March, on an undulating course under Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire, decide the season's championships: the Champion Hurdle, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the Stayers' Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Attendance runs above 220,000 across the four days. The meeting's defining sound is the Cheltenham roar when the tape rises on Tuesday's opening race, and what gives it force is the Irish presence: much of the crowd has crossed the sea for it.
01Neden önemlidir
This is the championship meeting of jump racing, the branch of the sport with the deepest hold on Britain and Ireland. In our reading its importance is social as much as sporting: no other British meeting has a genuinely bi-national crowd.
02Etrafındaki hafta
Cheltenham, a Regency spa town of 116,000, absorbs a crowd larger than itself: hotels across Gloucestershire and into the Cotswolds are taken at multi-night minimums, and shuttle buses link town and course all day.
03Ne zaman varılır
Tuesday and Friday matter most and are hardest to get into; arrive Monday evening and leave Saturday morning.
04Nerede kalınır
Cheltenham town center is the obvious choice, a forty-minute walk or short shuttle from the course; the Cotswold villages give you a better week if you have a car.
05Erişim ve ağırlama
The Jockey Club sells enclosure admission across the four days — Best Mate, Tattersalls and Club — plus restaurants, boxes and packages, with annual badge schemes carrying priority. Demand exceeds supply for Tuesday and Friday.
06Sosyal faaliyetin gerçekleştiği yer
The Guinness Village on course is the meeting's genuine center; beyond it, the Parade Ring lawn and the terraces above the finish. In town, the Montpellier bars and the Promenade hotels.
