Cheltenham Racecourse sits at Prestbury Park near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, hosting National Hunt racing in a scenic natural amphitheatre beneath the Cotswold Hills. Horse racing began here in 1815 as modest flat races, but the sport moved to its current location in 1902. The new stands opened in 1914, and the Festival races developed from there, with the Cheltenham Gold Cup introduced in 1924 and the Champion Hurdle following in 1927. The racecourse holds two main courses side by side—the Old Course and the New Course—plus a cross-country course inside the main track. The New Course features a demanding downhill fence and a longer run-in for steeplechases. The venue accommodates up to 67,500 spectators and hosts the prestigious Cheltenham Festival each March, featuring Grade I races including the Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase, Ryanair Chase, and Stayers' Hurdle. Beyond racing, the site houses The Centaur, a multi-purpose complex seating over 2,000 for conferences and around 4,000 standing for concerts, plus the Steeplechasing Hall of Fame. The racecourse also stages music festivals and hosts university ceremonies. In 2015, the £45 million Princess Royal Stand opened, completing the course's redevelopment.
