THE FESTIVAL 2017 MEDIA GUIDE

A general view of the Vestey Bar at
Cheltenham Racecourse
“WE HAVE INTRODUCED
A FANTASTIC CRESCENT
WALKWAY WRAPPING
AROUND THE PARADE
RING THAT LEADS TO
THE NEW GRANDSTAND.
IT’S AN AMAZING
PROJECT AND EVERYONE
HAS BEEN REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT IT.”
Stephen Limbrick, Managing Director at
Roberts Limbrick Architects
is the Big Buck’s Champagne Bar,
named after the horse who won
an unprecedented four Stayers’
Hurdles and 18 consecutive races,
also with direct access onto the
viewing steps.
The second floor has an excellent
Owners & Trainers Bar, with a
balcony overlooking the parade
ring, horsewalk and course, plus
the Cotswolds Club, an area
available to those who used to
have one of the A+R boxes which
were removed to make way for the
new stand.
Moving up to the third floor of the
grandstand, there is The Royal Box
and 11 private boxes.
The top floor houses the
Cheltenham Club, whose annual
members are allocated a table for
the season, from which to enjoy
a four-course, a la carte lunch,
stunning views of Cleeve Hill, plus
the Malvern Hills at the back of the
stand, and even a fireplace to keep
them extra warm between races
during the winter months.
Cheltenham Media Guide 2017
The Princess Royal Stand was
carefully designed so it can be
used for non-racing functions as
well and is fitted out to a high
standard, while racing heroes, both
human and equine incorporated in
the Cheltenham Hall of Fame, are
celebrated throughout.
