What to expect

The Cheltenham Roar at 1:30pm Tuesday

The Cheltenham Roar at 1:30pm Tuesday

The crowd's noise as the starter raises the tape for the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle is the loudest moment in British racing.

Cheltenham's Thursday is St Patrick's Thursday, the Festival's big Irish day. The Irish contingent is heavy at the best of times; on Thursday the Guinness flows from breakfast onward and the songbook turns green.

Our best tips

Weather

Cheltenham weather shifts fast. Check the forecast close to raceday before choosing your outfit. In hospitality, the Platinum Suite and Chez Roux Restaurant keep you covered whatever the skies do.

Be aware of

Two-thirds of the car parks are on grass so be mindful when choosing your footwear for the day!

Dress code

No dress code. Cheltenham's line is "Dressed to feel your best," so jeans and trainers are as fine as a frock and heels. Wear whatever you're happy standing about in all day.
