Experience a wide variety of live music performances across seven zones at The Cheltenham Festival.

Step into the heart of the action at The Guinness Village, to feel the infectious energy of Irish favourites – from traditional ballads to foot-stomping anthems. As a fantastic day of racing draws to a close, a greatest hits post-racing set promises the perfect way to round off the day.

Neighbouring The Guinness Village, The Orchard plays host to a range of offerings from luxury brands, accompanied by a background of balaeric beats. The Orchard is available to Club Enclosure ticket holders, including Hospitality guests, Owners and Trainers, and all Cheltenham Annual Members and promises a premium and unparalleled experience for racegoers.

New to 2025 was the Tattersalls Sales Arena which was the perfect place to enjoy your favourite hits and crowd favourites under cover, alongside the new Sales Arena Bar.

For those looking to indulge in something a little more refined, The Champagne Bar offers the perfect backdrop of smooth jazz throughout the day and into the evening.

Similarly, The Centaur offers laidback acoustic melodies, perfect for a more relaxed post-racing experience.

Visiting the Best Mate enclosure? The Best Mate Pavillion offers an electric music experience, with upbeat tunes throughout the day - it's the perfect place to celebrate your winners!
