For anybody who’s looking for a fun day out in the English countryside with some fantastic betting opportunities, the Cheltenham Festival provides an unbeatable experience.
Taking place from 15 to 18 March on the outskirts of the pretty spa town on the edge of the glorious Cotswolds, the Cheltenham Festival certainly promises to deliver on these five reasons why you should attend in 2016!
The racing
Horse race
The Cheltenham Festival has long-enjoyed it’s fantastic reputation for racing. And over four days it features the very best in British and Irish thoroughbreds competing in some top racing events. The most prestigious race is undoubtedly the Gold Cup which takes place at 3.30pm on the final day, but with other great races such as the Ryanair Chase and the thrilling Stan James Champion Hurdle, it looks to be an epic racing event.
The betting
Tickets to win
Betting and horse-racing go hand in hand, and the Cheltenham Festival offers some great betting opportunities for the hardcore punter and the casual racing fan. For an comprehensive list of Cheltenham Festival dates and times, the Coral website features all the information on horses and jockeys that you’ll need on this hugely-enjoyable racing event.

Horse racing events have also become something of a fixture in the nation’s fashion calendars with the likes of Ladies’ Day providing the perfect opportunity for everyone to dress up in their finest and wear their most extreme fascinator. From fashionistas to the ever-present paparazzi, the Cheltenham Festival is the place to be and be seen.
The Guinness
Have a pint of Guinness
One of the interesting things about the Cheltenham Festival is the fact that it enjoys a rich association with Irish horse racing. And this has definitely been advanced by the fact that the festival routinely falls on St Patrick’s Day which regularly features thousands of Irish racing fans all seeking to enjoy celebrating their winnings with an extra pint of Guinness!
The surroundings
Cotswolds Panorama Fields

From the boutique shops and cafes that are dotted around the centre of the picturesque spa town, to the bucolic glory of the surrounding Cotswolds, the Cheltenham area is definitely one of the UK’s best kept secrets.
