About
The Cheltenham Festival™: 16 - 19 March 2021
**Statement on the Cheltenham Racecourse website 4 February - "Based on current Government restrictions, professional sport is able to continue under stringent health and safety protocols, without spectators present. In horseracing’s case this is vital to support the livelihoods of the many thousands of people who rely on the industry and for the welfare of the thousands of Thoroughbred racehorses who live and train in Britain.
This means that under current restrictions, The Festival™ will take place as a televised event, but sadly without spectators at the course. We continue to monitor Government guidance and should this change in advance of The Festival™ we will act accordingly."
Cheltenham Racecourse presents the highlight of the jump season. The pinnacle racing event of the year. The event with an atmosphere that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Join us to hear the roar from 16-19 March 2021.
