When is Cheltenham Festival 2023, can I still buy tickets and how much is a pint?
CHELTENHAM Festival is the biggest week of racing all year.
It is the one meeting everyone dreams of having a winner at – be it the trainer, owner… or just us punters.
Nearly every horse will have their whole campaign geared around winning at Prestbury Park.
And with mega prize money on offer, it’s really no surprise.
But the Festival sells out quickly, and this year organisers have capped the number of fans allowed in.
Still, some 68,500 punters are expected to flood through the gates on each day.
Here, Sun Racing tells you all you need to know about the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.
