FEATURE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL
THE PREVIEW SHOW Be sure not to miss The Preview Show live from The Parade Ring every morning before racing.
Join our fabulous team of presenters, Aly Vance, Martin Kelly and Hayley Moore at 12:15 on Tuesday and 12:25 on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, from The Parade Ring for a lively look at the day’s proceedings. They will be discussing the big races and big stories upcoming that day, suggestions for where your bets might be well placed and behind-the-scenes information that you won’t hear anywhere else! Each day they will have three guest slots; racing “Greats”, connections of fancied horses and top jockeys who will give you their take on how the drama might unfold. On Festival Trials Day, Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville chatted all things Sevenbarrows, and the Festival line up promises to be equally as compelling. If you can’t be by The Parade Ring in person, you can catch it on the Big Screens around the course.
Gold Cup Centenary Community Fund: A Lasting Legacy for Cheltenham The Cheltenham Gold Cup Centenary Community Fund initiative ensures that the centenary of Cheltenham Racecourse’s most prestigious event, The Gold Cup, leaves a lasting legacy of support for those who live and work around the course. The fund is a collaborative effort between Gloucestershire Community Foundation, the Rotary Clubs of Cheltenham, and Cheltenham Racecourse with their combined passion for community impact. In December 2023, the first grants were distributed, marking the beginning of an ongoing commitment to the community and so far the fund has raised over £70,000. Grants are available for organisations working within Cheltenham Borough, helping to foster a vibrant, supportive, and thriving local environment. The Gold Cup Centenary Community Fund is dedicated to supporting: Registered charities Community groups that promote sport, arts, music, and well-being Schools and playgroups Sporting, art, or music societies With priority given to: Organisations working with young people Groups based within 3 miles and 2 furlongs of Cheltenham Racecourse—the very distance of the Cheltenham Gold Cup itself!
