Your Cheltenham Experience Awaits

Step into the heart of the action at Cheltenham Festival’s opening day – Champions Day – with an unforgettable experience in The Pegasus Lounge, our exclusive VIP hospitality suite.

As one of the most anticipated days in the racing calendar, Champions Day attracts elite horses, world-class trainers, and top jockeys from around the globe. From the comfort of our private lounge, you’ll enjoy prime views of the final two fences and finishing straight – the perfect setting to witness the drama unfold.

Enjoy gourmet dining, complimentary drinks, and expert insights from celebrity tipsters and former jockeys, who’ll guide you through the race card – including the day’s feature race, the Unibet Champion Hurdle, a prestigious Grade 1 contest showcasing the finest hurdlers in the sport.
