The Cheltenham season is all about great racing, memorable experiences and bringing people together.

While the racing remains at the heart of everything we do, we’re continuing to invest in the racecourse and improve the experience for racegoers throughout the season.

Following the significant improvements made last season, we’re building on that progress throughout 2026/27, with further investment across the racecourse, more choice and value for racegoers, and a continued focus on making every visit to Cheltenham as enjoyable as possible.

The best against the best

At the heart of Cheltenham is one simple promise: the best horses competing against the best.

From the first jump of the season through to the final race of The Cheltenham Festival, we’re proud to host some of the biggest occasions in the jump racing calendar, bringing together the sport’s greatest horses, jockeys and trainers.

That commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.

An improved experience

The significant improvements made across the racecourse last season have helped us create a more enjoyable experience for racegoers.

This season, we’re continuing that investment – improving facilities, creating more places to relax, eat and drink, and making it easier to enjoy the racing and atmosphere throughout your day at Cheltenham.

Better value

We know that enjoying a day at Cheltenham is about more than the racing.

For the 2026/27 season, we’re continuing to provide more choice and value across tickets, food and drink, memberships and our range of offers, helping you make the most of your time at the racecourse.

Take a look below at some of the improvements and updates you can expect across the season.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cheltenham throughout the 2026/27 season.
