The April Meeting

spring into action 

with the festival fever dying down, and spring in the air, it's time to celebrate the fiercely contested april meeting

It's no easy task following The Festival™ presented by Magners. But April’s two-day meeting is the perfect time to reflect on achievements past and remember that racing, no matter the event, is competitive and above all else, a joyous occasion.

The swathe of shops and hospitality village may have gone, but the magic remains at the Home of Jump racing.

For the final chance to watch the professionals test themselves on the track before the summer break, head to Cheltenham on April 17 and 18 2019. Last spring’s feature event – the £60,000 Grade Two Barchester Healthcare Silver Trophy Chase – certainly gave The Festival a run for its money with a spectacular finish by Traffic Fluide.

The Easter Bunny, kids entertainment and 1,000 free Easter Eggs are part of the fun being organised at Cheltenham Racecourse for the two day April Race meeting. Join us during the Easter holidays for two days of Easter fun as well as top class horse racing and don’t forget children under 18 get in for free.  This is the perfect day to keep the children amused and all entertainment is free!   

The racing highlight on the opening day of The April Meeting is the Grade 2 Handicap Chase worth £50,000 as well as some top class hurdle races. It's a chance for racegoers to see their racing favourites before the end of the jumps season and enjoy a quality day out in the springtime sunshine.
