Cheltenham Racecourse

Cheltenham Racecourse

An exciting and stimulating venue for your product launch, conference, exhibition, awards presentation, or executive meeting; superb for Christmas and summer parties, networking receptions and sumptuous banquets, and a prime location for photo shoots and filming. In the heart of Cheltenham, just 15 minutes from the M5, there are outstanding views of the racecourse and the beautiful countryside beyond.

If you’re thinking seriously big, then plump for the Centaur – a stunning, fully equipped auditorium and versatile event space with seating for 2,250 guests and capacious enough for a dinner-dance for 700. Hall of Fame offers unrivalled exhibition space of 431 square metres, and is also superb for receptions for up to 400 people.

When it comes to choosing conference and reception or gala dinner space you really are spoilt for choice – will you opt for the inter-connecting Crest & Sovereign rooms, for Gold Cup or Insurance right at the heart of the racecourse, for Festival with its stunning views, for Istabraq, holding 150 guests in theatre style and 450 for a reception, or for Panoramic, seating 100 people in theatre style, 120 for a dinner-dance, or 250 for a reception?

For smaller meetings and lunches choose Hatton’s Grace for 15-24 guests, or select from over 50 private boxes, all overlooking the racecourse and providing the perfect space for smaller meetings for 2-30 delegates. Treat your guests to a private tour and let them join in the fun of a raceday with a celebratory lunch to boot.

Cheltenham Racecourse has the lot - event rooms are stylish, modern and light filled; delegate packages won’t cost the earth and are designed to aid a successful and motivating event; you’ll have the full support of experienced staff on the run up to and during your function, a choice of food options delivered by highly skilled chefs, complimentary wifi and state of the art lighting and audio-visual equipment.

The venue can recommend accommodation close to the racecourse, there are train stations and airports within easy reach, and there is heaps of free parking at the racecourse for delegates.
