Enjoy The Festival at Cheltenham in luxurious style with the ‘Room with a View’ experience that combines accommodation, travel and hospitality The Cheltenham Festival is an event like no other and a highlight in the British social and sporting calendar. The Festival 2022 comprises four extraordinary days of horse racing, from Tuesday 15 to Friday 18 March, with a total of 28 races including the Gold Cup. So special is this event that it is best enjoyed with a touch of stylish luxury, including a stay at Chewton Glen, Cliveden House or The Lygon Arms, helicopter travel to Cheltenham, and hospitality throughout the day. After the restrictions of 2021, the crowds have been eagerly waiting to return to the heart of the action, carried on the wave of the Cheltenham Roar, experiencing first-hand the best food, the best wine and the best racing in the world. While 2021’s event had to be viewed remotely, it was not short of action, drama and moments that made history. Henry de Bromhead’s extraordinary Put The Kettle On became the first mare to win the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase under Aidan Coleman; Rachael Blackmore stormed home on Allaho, giving Willie Mullins his record fourth win in the Ryanair Chase; and, of course, there was Jack Kennedy bringing Minella Indo home in the WellChild Cheltenham Gold Cup itself.
So it is with excited anticipation that we await The Festival 2022. Day one on 15 March is traditionally known as Champion Day and the racing is headlined by the Unibet Champion Hurdle, which has been won over the years by the likes of Istabraq, Hurricane Fly and Braveur D’Air. On wonderful Wednesday, also known as Ladies Day, expect some exciting action in the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase as the
