Nestled amidst the picturesque Cotswolds, Cheltenham Racecourse stands as a hub of activity, offering more than just horse racing. With over 360 acres of land and 2,600m² of flexible indoor space, it’s a venue that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, promising an array of memorable experiences.

The Centaur, a versatile space accommodating up to 2,250 delegates, symbolizes the marriage of tradition and innovation at Cheltenham Racecourse. Against the backdrop of the Cotswolds, purpose-built conference facilities and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment merge with the venue’s rich history, ensuring events are both timeless and cutting-edge.

While horse racing is a highlight, The Jockey Club, Cheltenham’s premier racecourse venue, unveils a diverse calendar of events for 2024. From orchestral nights to concerts and festivals, there’s something for everyone, with many events catering to families.
