What not to miss in and around the festival?

For future reference, if you are there on Monday and looking at filling some time then head to the course, pretty much unrestricted access and the place is a buzz with horses arriving, good chance to get up close

I might try that next year. We are always at a loose end on the Monday and it'll keep us out of the pub.

This year was the best trip I've had at Cheltenham. Had a good craic with Kevin Blake on the Wednesday, met some old faces at the races and my mate managed to talk us into a level 5 box on day one - what a view!

Already planning to stay for the week next year, although I doubt our last trip will be beaten.

Are you able to walk the course? Seems incredible that they allow such access - will definitely try and do that. Thanks

No, you need permission to walk the course and that's only given to connections of runners

We're booked already and tickets bought.

Reminder for everyone that discounted tickets are available until 5th July, £72 Club, apologies I didn't check Tatts/Best Mate.
The fact they've increased prices by £2 suggests that on the day prices will be £95 (Club)
