Cheltenham Racecourse

Venue Review of Cheltenham Racecourse

Set in the rolling Cotswolds countryside, Cheltenham Racecourse is not only an internationally acclaimed sports venue, but also a striking setting for events. Every March it plays host to the Gold Cup – arguably the biggest jumps race in the world – but on non-race days, large-scale conferences and exhibitions are its mainstay. The Centaur, a vast purpose-built auditorium, holds 2,250 guests theatre style and 4,000 standing, making it one of the largest venues in the South West. A series of smaller spaces is also available, suited to banqueting, product launches and weddings. The Panoramic Room, with its vistas across the course, and the Hall of Fame both work well for receptions, giving guests the opportunity to mingle among the faces of jumping history before moving on to dinner in the Festival or Gold Cup rooms, which are served by private bars. Free car parking for up to 10,000 cars is another draw.
