Overview
The Cheltenham Festival dominates the town's group travel calendar every March, when Cheltenham Racecourse - the recognised home of jump racing, set on 360 acres in the Cotswold hills - draws over 265,000 racegoers across four days for meetings including the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and coach bookings for race days are among the busiest we handle all year. Outside festival season, the town keeps a full events diary with its Jazz, Literature and Science Festivals, plus the Regency architecture of the Promenade and Pittville Pump Room drawing heritage and walking tour groups. We arrange coach and minibus hire for race days, festival transport, corporate hospitality bookings and school or heritage trips, with regular routes to Gloucester and Bristol and further into the Cotswolds. Cheltenham sits roughly 100 to 110 miles from London, around two and a quarter hours by road, and its racecourse hospitality trade means we also handle a good number of one-off group bookings from further afield, including Birmingham.
Cheltenham, England draws group visitors for everything from corporate conferences and trade shows to school field trips, wedding celebrations, and sporting events. Below are the venues and landmarks our groups visit most often — each one a regular stop on our Cheltenham routes.
