Experience a wide variety of live music performances across seven zones at The Cheltenham Festival.

Step into the heart of the action at The Guinness Village, to feel the infectious energy of Irish favourites – from traditional ballads to foot-stomping anthems. As a fantastic day of racing draws to a close, a greatest hits post-racing set promises the perfect way to round off the day.

Neighbouring The Guinness Village, The Orchard plays host to a range of offerings from luxury brands, accompanied by a background of balaeric beats. The Orchard is available to Club Enclosure ticket holders, including Hospitality guests, Owners and Trainers, and all Cheltenham Annual Members and promises a premium and unparalleled experience for racegoers.

New to 2025, the Tattersalls Sales Arena is the perfect place to enjoy your favourite hits and crowd favourites under cover, alongside the new Sales Arena Bar.

If singing along to feel good favourites sounds like your cup of tea, head to Quevega's Bar to soak up the good times. It's the perfect place to reunite with friends and raise a glass after an exciting day!

For those looking to indulge in something a little more refined, The Champagne Bar offers the perfect backdrop of smooth jazz throughout the day and into the evening.

Similarly, The Centaur offers laidback acoustic melodies, perfect for a more relaxed post-racing experience.

Visiting the Best Mate enclosure? The Best Mate Pavillion offers an electric music experience, with upbeat tunes throughout the day - it's the perfect place to celebrate your winners!

The Racing Realm

At The Racing Realm, located in the Plaza, racegoers will be given the opportunity to slip on the silks of Festival favourites, mount a mechanical horse, slide on a VR headset and line up in the Race.Ride.Cheltenham Champion Steeplechase. It is as close to the real experience as most of us will ever (want to) get!

The Racing Realm will also be home to a local Riding for the Disabled pony who loves a pat, and our World Racing Map Lottery fundraiser for the Gold Cup Centenary Community Fund, where you can win a trip for two to the 2025 Velká Pardubická – one of Europe's most legendary races!

We also look forward to welcoming the HorsePWR team, who will be on hand to provide you with facts and stats about the life of a thoroughbred.
