The hustle and bustle of The Cheltenham Festival might be over, but April has more racing in the Calendar. From the 15th - 16th of April, The April Meeting is set to take place at Cheltenham Racecourse, your final chance to see the professionals in their element.
If you are not a racing fanatic, there are plenty of other Cheltenham events on offer during the month of April. Whether you are looking for Easter family fun or a comedy evening at the theatre, you are spoilt for choice.
