The opening day of The Festival, known as Champion Day, is headlined by the Champion Hurdle, which has been won over the years by some of history's biggest names, the likes of Constitution Hill, Honeysuckle and Hurricane Fly. One of the most popular days, it's where the excitement begins as everyone is buzzing to be back! Make sure you are there to witness who'll be writing their name in the history books.

The second day of The Festival traditionally known as Ladies Day features the Queen Mother Champion Chase. As well as high fashion you can see top class racing which has been dominated in recent years by Energumene, Sprinter Sacre and Altior, it's a race that sets the pulses raising as some of the best in the business battle it out over two miles. 

​

Famously St Patrick's Thursday, Day Three at The Festival is when we celebrate all things Irish, with the Ryanair Chase and the Stayers' Hurdle headlining the action. Be sure to wear some green and head to the Guinness Village to enjoy a pint of the black stuff whilst you make the most of all of the Irish hits, jigs and Celtic reels!

​

The final day is when the pinnacle of Jump racing takes place, The Cheltenham Gold Cup. Not only does it headline Day Four, but it's also the feature race of The Festival for spectators, jockeys and trainers alike. Playing a major part in the sporting calendar in the UK each year, its winners go down in history with the likes of Best Mate & Kauto Star becoming household names.
