CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2026

A celebration of equine excellence, timeless grace and glamour.

 

On Ladies Day, the elegance and glamour of Cheltenham Festival come alive, in a day that celebrates both the thrill of racing and the art of fashion.


While the horses and jockeys battle it out on the track, the spectators dazzle in their finest attire, turning the grandstands into a parade of style and sophistication. The style awards add an extra layer of excitement, and a feeling of being part of something extraordinary.


From the sheer pace of the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase to the rugged endurance of the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase, every race on Ladies Day is infused with the electric atmosphere of the crowd, who bring their own unique flair and spectacle to the day.

The Slow Fashion Awards

The Slow Fashion Awards

The Slow Fashion awards celebrate vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces that can be passed down through generations. We encourage all racegoers to showcase their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family, and on social media.

The awards are open to both men and women, and we can't wait to see the incredible fashion on display!
