Add to calendar
The Cheltenham Festival runs from Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 March 2027, and each of its four days carries its own name and its own championship race. Tuesday is Champion Day and the Unibet Champion Hurdle; Wednesday is Ladies Day and the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase; Thursday is St Patrick’s Thursday, with the Ryanair Chase and the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle; Friday is Gold Cup Day and the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup. Above the enclosures sits the Panoramic Restaurant on the fifth level of the grandstand, overlooking the winning post, from £1,194. The measure of the meeting is in what a season ticket will not buy: the Desert Orchid Membership admits its holder to every fixture on the racecourse’s calendar except November Saturday and these four days.
