SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Carnival Sunday brings the local community together for top-class racing in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The day features six exhilarating races, Shetland pony racing, and a fun-filled mascot race — offering something for everyone. A true celebration of all things Cheltenham, and the perfect way to round off a fantastic weekend of racing.
Enjoy a pint with friends in the Guinness Village, alive with traditional Irish melodies - or enjoy a bottle of bubbles in the Champagne Bar against a backdrop of smooth sax.
With plenty to enjoy both trackside and beyond, it’s the perfect chance to inspire the next generation of racing fans. From fun competitions and a scavenger hunt to pony meet-and-greets and a virtual reality ride around the track, its a day guarenteed to keep children entertained.
*Under 18’s race free and must be accompanied by a responsible adult (over 18).
