Follow our guide to make your journey to Cheltenham easily accessible

By car Traffic to the site can build up at peak times, and therefore we would advise you to arrive early. Traffic exiting the course can also build up, so please do be aware of this when making travel arrangements. When leaving the car park you will be required to exit via a specified route. To minimise exit delays

within the racecourse, certain gates will be restricted to allow only left or right turns. The parking scheme is colour coded, so your parking zone will match your label (if you have not purchased a label in advance please follow the Public/Green signs). Occasionally, the route you are directed to will not be the shortest route, in terms of distance. Please follow the yellow, temporary signs put in place for race meetings, ignoring both sat nav

directions and brown signs once you pick up the yellow directional signs. These routes will allow you to approach the racecourse, enter and park in the correct zone in the fastest time possible. Please help us to help you have the smoothest and quickest access into the course by following the correct signs and not routes that you have previously used. Please visit the ‘Plan your raceday’ section on our website cheltenham.co.uk
