Cheltenham Racecourse Hospitality: The Pinnacle of Jump Racing
Cheltenham is at the heart of almost every aspect of Jump racing. This is the hollowed ground where owners, trainers, jockeys, and breeders dream of having winners. It is the stage where reputations are forged, stars are born through the sale ring, and the most important races in the sporting calendar are run.
With over 40 years of experience in elite sports hospitality, AR Events invites you to witness the “theatre of racing” from the best seats in the house. Whether it’s the quiet anticipation of the October meet or the world-famous “Cheltenham Roar,” we ensure your experience is as legendary as the sport itself.
The Festival™: Four Days of Magic and Magnificence
The focus of any jumping season is always The Festival at Cheltenham. As the shining jewel in Jump racing’s crown, it is four days of unrelenting excitement framed by the breathtaking vista of the Cotswold Hills.
Playing to an audience of over 260,000 people, The Festival requires a sophisticated hospitality strategy to navigate. We offer a variety of exclusive environments to ensure you and your guests enjoy the “magic and madness” in total comfort:
-
The Chez Roux Restaurant: Located in the third floor of the High Performance Centre, this award-winning facility offers fine dining overseen by legendary chefs, combining world-class cuisine with stunning views of the track.
-
The Long Run Balcony Boxes: Positioned with a panoramic view of the final fence and the grueling uphill finish, these boxes provide a private sanctuary for corporate networking and celebration.
-
The Orchard™: A stylish, contemporary area in the heart of the Tented Village, offering a unique “festival-within-a-festival” feel with high-end brand activations and luxury lounge access.
