Cheltenham Racecourse — Attraction in Cheltenham

Now, let me tell ya, the Cheltenham Racecourse is like the heart of horse racing in this neck of the woods. It's more exciting than a bronco bustin' competition, and here's why:

First and foremost, the atmosphere at this place is electric. You can feel the excitement in the air from the moment you step foot on the grounds. The sound of hooves thundering down the track, the cheers from the crowd – it's like a rodeo, but with a British twist.

The facilities are top-notch, just like a well-groomed stallion. Whether you're a seasoned race-goer or a greenhorn like me, you'll find everything you need. There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat or a cold drink to quench your thirst. It's like a trailside chuckwagon with all the fixins!

And let's talk about the races themselves. Cheltenham is famous for events like the Cheltenham Festival, and it's no wonder. The caliber of racing here is as high as a mountain peak. It's where the best jockeys and the finest horses come to compete, and you'll be on the edge of your saddle the whole time.

The course, well, it's a sight to behold. The lush green grass, the imposing grandstands, and the stunning Cotswold backdrop – it's like a panoramic view of the prairie at sunrise. You'll want to take a few snapshots to remember the day.

But here's the real magic of Cheltenham Racecourse: the sense of tradition and community. It's like a small-town rodeo, where everyone knows everyone. You'll find folks from all walks of life, united by their love for the sport and the thrill of the races.

Whether you're in it for the betting, the fashion, or simply to enjoy a day out, the Cheltenham Racecourse offers a wild ride that'll leave you grinnin' like a Cheshire cat.

Poor consideration for disabled patrons and poor disabled parking – be prepared to walk up a hill to the venue. Not very aware of the acts they book. Recently went to see Jack Savoretti and being disabled booked an aisle seat and near to the stage as my eyesight is poor. The last 30 minutes of the show people were allowed to dance in all aisles and in front of the stage, which then got very congested, with everyone making their way to the stage. People had to stand up by their seats so they could see the stage. This meant I was unable to see any more of the show, as I’m not able to stand for more than a few minutes, so I was just surrounded by people dancing, which was quite scary. Many people were drunk when dancing and falling around - someone stood on my foot and a woman, who was very drunk, fell backwards onto a lady in the front row who had her arm in a sling! Perhaps if people are going to be allowed to dance an area should be allocated to avoid injuries and so that people can actually see the show that they have paid to see – or have raised seating in the stalls. The whole evening was then ruined and very disappointing, good job the tickets weren’t expensive. Another venue that isn’t worth a visit if you’re disabled. They hold a Christmas Fair and this is impossible to get around in a wheelchair – it’s too crowded and you can’t get near the stalls and many are too high to be able to see anything - similar to problems in the shops, counters too high, not enough room for wheelchairs or pushchairs to get around. It’s about time all fairs held an afternoon just for disabled patrons, so they can get around easily, preferably in a one-way system, and be able to see the goods on sale. Although you’re not excluded, obviously disabled people know it’s too difficult to fight against the crowds, so you end up being excluded and this is the...

Expensive and uncomfortable experience. £7 a pint, didn't bother with any food outlets. £3 for a coffee just about acceptable. Member of ground staff turned us away from William Hill after last race, told us they were closed but we could collect our winnings from the William Hill stand on the way out, when we got there we were told they were already closed because they had to shut 10 minutes after the last race. After protesting we were paid out on the Lucky 15 which included a horse in the last race. All William Hill staff (and directly and sub contracted staff) we dealt with throughout our three days were friendly, helpful and professional. Good to see the record crowds, unfortunately it's getting to the point when the overwhelming majority of those attending are there for the booze and the music only and not the racing. The genuine racegoers are in the definite minority. Hopefully they are not deterred from returning because if that trend is set to continue as it has done over the fifteen years I have been attending there'll be an incident that could, and should, have been avoided. It isn't easy to control and cater for big crowds enjoying themselves but there needs to be a limit on crowd numbers and behaviour. If some of the behaviour witnessed this time round becomes acceptable and normal this meeting isn't for me.
