The 2022 Cheltenham Festival is about to start in a matter of days on Tuesday 15th March, ending after four days of equestrian festivities and 28 thrilling National Hunt races on Friday, 18th March. Now is the best time to take a quick look through some of what there is on offer in terms of this year’s Cheltenham Festival hospitality packages.
Hospitality Packages from the Cheltenham Racecourse Restaurants
If you are looking to book a restaurant seat at the Cheltenham, you have the option of choosing from 13 uniquely exquisite establishments inside the facility. Each restaurant/bar/lounge serves delectable dishes made from rich, local produce. However, it’s the service that truly actualises the meaning of genuine hospitality, which each of Cheltenham’s hospitality packages are supposed to offer. Below, you will find the 13 restaurants, each offering their own hospitality packages during the Cheltenham Festival 2022:
Just like with all the other hospitality packages and tickets at the Cheltenham Racecourse, you will need to book them from The Jockey Club’s official website. If you are sure about booking a restaurant hospitality package, they have full brochures available for download, but they are exclusive to serious customers only.
Betting Packages
You don’t have to be present at the Cheltenham Racecourse to book one of the Betfair Cheltenham specials, but you can certainly enjoy them both simultaneously. From welcome bonus offers for new members to exclusive odds for old members, there’s a lot on offer here. These offers will provide the same incredible value, irrespective of whether you are sitting in a regular seat inside the Cheltenham Racecourse, nestled comfortably in your private box on the Princess Ryal Grandstand, or laying propped up on your own bed with the TV on!
VIP Packages from the Private Boxes
The private boxes are separated into three categories at the Cheltenham Racecourse. These would be:
For those wondering about the Royal Box, it is not available to even VIP guests this year because the Royal Family is expected to have a steady presence during the Cheltenham Festival on account of 2022 being the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year as the constitutional monarch. Nevertheless, each of the private boxes at the Cheltenham offer exclusive hospitality packages, which are as follows.
Parade Ring View Boxes
These boxes provide guests with a close view of the Parade Ring, aka the paddock. Catch a close glimpse of what’s going on behind the scenes, as horses meet up with jockeys in preparation for the race ahead. Feel the tension before the race even begins and see winners celebrate as they come back to the paddock. The hospitality package for parade ring boxes at the Cheltenham Festival include:
Cleeve View Boxes
Closest to the finish line with a brilliant view of Cleeve Hill in background, the Cleeve View Boxes are located on the secondfloor. The height ensures guests can get a better view of almost the entire racecourse. If you want to enjoy the most picturesque view at the Cheltenham Racecourse, book a Cleeve View Box hospitality package with the same facilities as the Parade Ring View Boxes.
Final Fence Boxes
Just below the Cleeve View Boxes are the Final Fence Boxes on the first floor. With the same benefits and complimentaryinclusions as the Cleeve View Box packages, the Final Fence Boxes will bring you closer to the action by a floor, but the view will not be as comprehensive as it is from the secondfloor of course.
Chez Roux Private Boxes
If you want a truly private and premium experience from your hospitality package at the Cheltenham, the Chez Roux Private Boxes come pretty close to being the best, especially on St Patrick’s Day (Thursday, Match 17th). Not only are the third-floor seats inside each box allow guests to see the entire racecourse in unobstructed view, but their hospitality packages also include:
