Are you ready for the craic on Day Three, formally known as St Patrick's Day, at The Cheltenham Festival?

Thursday 12 March will be full of the Irish flair, as the Ryanair Chase and Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle take centre stage. The Irish set the scene for an extraordinary atmosphere that sees racegoers come together to watch history being made in seven excellent races.

Don't miss a visit to the famous Guinness Village in the Club and Tattersalls enclosure where you can enjoy live music between racing from Irish Folk bands The Lucky 15's, All Folked Up and Taylor & The Mason's as we celebrate with our friends from the Emerald Isle. Expect traditional Irish classics, Irish Jigs, and toe-tapping classics. Click here for the full music line-up.

For Club and Tattersalls racegoers, don't miss a visit to our exclusive, hand-picked boutique shopping village, followed by a trip to The Orchard™ offering Club racegoers a premium and unique experience, filled with a variety of luxury brands.

Why not upgrade your ticket to gain access to The Park in the Club and Tattersalls enclosure? The Park is new for 2020, and includes a live DJ set from I'm a Celeb finalist Roman Kemp.

The racing on Day Three last year will be remembered for years to come as one of the greatest Festival days. The atmosphere was electric as the strong crowd roared home Frodon under Jockey Club Racecourse Ambassador, Bryony Frost in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase. Bryony became the first female jockey to win a Grade 1 over fences at The Festival.

The emotions didn’t stop there however, as Paisley Park justified favouritism in The Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle to win for trainer Emma Lavelle and owner Andrew Gemmell.

Tattersalls Cheltenham will be in the Parade Ring after racing on Day Three of The Festival.
