Cheltenham Festival 2024
Chase View Hospitality
----------------------------------------
The Cheltenham Festival is without doubt the greatest racing Festival of the year, as the sight of the very best National Hunt horses leaping the Cheltenham fences is breath taking - 2024 is a special year with 100 years of Cheltenham celebrated. Our shared track facing Chase View restaurants put you in the hear of the action by offering instant access to outside viewing balconies that give you a wonderful view of the horses jumping the most important fences in a race, the last two, before powering up the hill to the winning post. The winners are often the horses that jump these last two fences quickly and fluently. It is a wonderful sight and so convenient in that as soon as the race is over you will be able to take a few steps back to your table to continue your hospitality and anticipate the next race and try to predict the drama and result that will unfold.
 
Our Chase View restaurants are located on two elevated levels, Levels 2 and 3 of the temporary structure located by the last fences. Private boxes are available for groups of 40 guests with smaller numbers accommodated in our shared restaurants. Our Chase View areas are all course facing, have outside viewing balconies offering magnificent views over the racecourse and in a prime position standing very close to the trackside.
 
Chase View offers some of the best hospitality available by the last two fences, offering a stylish and spacious area in which to entertain. Betting facilities & toilets are easily accessed on the box corridor, avoiding the hassle of having to travel outside of your box into the crowds. Aside from the spectacular views and full VIP hospitality included, the day is further highlighted by our racing tipsters who will come into Chase View and go through the card and try to pick you a few winners!
 
Travel in style with the optional extra of a Steam Train transfer direct to the racecourse...
 
We give you the unique opportunity to avoid the race traffic in and around the racecourse by starting your journey at Toddington railway station and taking a magnificent steam train transfer directly to the back of the main Grandstand at Cheltenham Racecourse. The steam train is extremely beneficial to corporate clients as there is a lot of traffic in and around Cheltenham and it can be very difficult getting large groups of clients in and out of the racecourse. With the train, you and your clients will miss all of the traffic and congestion and you arrive to the racecourse relaxed, in style and together as a group. Toddington Railway Station is ideally situated in a completely traffic free part of the Cotswolds and it is very easy for clients from all over the UK to get to. Once guests have arrived at Toddington Railway Station, guests can relax and indulge in the nostalgic and tranquil setting.
There will be a live band performing on the platform, Champagne bars and a great nostalgic atmosphere to get you all in the mood for great days racing. There is also plenty of free hard surface car parking for coaches, cars etc. We allocate seats on the steam train so all of your guests using the train will be sat together. Each seat on board has access to a table so guests will have plenty of room to get out their racing posts and cram in some last minute form study. A full cash bar service is also available throughout the outbound and return journey where tea, coffee, beers, wines, soft drinks and Champagne is available to purchase which is served to you by our hostesses.
The steam train will depart Toddington at approximately 10.50am and will embark on a 35 minute journey through the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds, Malverns and Vale of Evesham pulled by a magnificent steam train locomotive. You will arrive relaxed and in style as you pull into Cheltenham Racecourse station which is situated just a furlong from the Paddock and opposite the North entrance. You will pass close by to the traffic queuing to get in and out of the racecourse – a truly amazing and amusing experience. The steam train will depart back to Toddington approximately 30 minutes after the last race has finished leaving you plenty of time to collect any winnings, finish off your hospitality and return to the steam train. You will miss all of the traffic in and around the Cheltenham area!
