Cheltenham Festival 2023: Full race card, dates, tickets and latest odds

Cheltenham Festival 2023: Full race card, dates, tickets and latest odds

The biggest meeting of the jumps season is just days away

Cheltenham Festival is almost upon us as the ‘Greatest Show on Turf’ gets underway next week.

With more than 200,000 set to descend on Prestbury Park across four days, the most exciting meeting of the horse racing calendar is not to be missed.

Jumps fans will be treated to 28 races, with the headline attraction being Friday's Gold Cup where the Willie Mullins-trained Galopin Des Champs is favourite. Mullins won a remarkable 10 races over the four days last year but the biggest prize has evaded him since 2020.

An unpredictable weather forecast is adding further drama to an action-packed week, with snow, rain and sun all tipped to make an appearance in Gloucestershire. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the meet.


Cheltenham Festival 2023 dates, start times and venue


This year's meet runs from Tuesday, March 14, until Friday, March 17, at Prestbury Park in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

There are seven races per day, with 28 in total, at 40-minute intervals. The first of the day is at 1.30pm and the last is at 5.30pm.
