The Festival™ presented by Magners

Tue 15 - Fri 18 Mar
2022
Tue 15 - Fri 18 Mar
2022

The Festival™ presented by Magners is the jewel in Cheltenham Racecourses crown. Often described as the Olympic Games of jump racing, this one of a kind event has a special place in the hearts and minds of the nation, a highlight of the season.

The opening day of The Festival™ cannot be missed, in part due to the famous Cheltenham roar that rings out at 1:30 pm, signalling the first of seven fantastic races. The atmosphere is electric, and this great amphitheatre is the best place to showcase the sports best thoroughbreds and jockeys.

Ladies day welcomes an explosion of colour and sophistication to the course, the venue wakes up to a rich and vibrant ambience that cannot be resisted. The days' showpiece Grade 1 Betway Queen mother Champion Steeple Chase race is one not to be missed, with punters bellowing their support on the way to the post.

St Patrick’s Day is a completely Irish affair when the Ryanair Chase and paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle take centre stage. Today the Guinness Village within the heart of the course is the heart and soul of The Festival™ creating an outstanding atmosphere that can only be experienced in the flesh.

The Gold Cup on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival is THE event, that bucket list dream for so many racing fans. Over 70,000 racegoers will descend on Cheltenham Racecourse on Friday to witness, live their dreams and be a part of history.
