Why Hire
Cheltenham Racecourse is particularly strong for events needing scale and flexibility without using a conventional exhibition centre. The Centaur alone accommodates 3,000 guests and provides 2,600m² of flexible space, while the surrounding suites, restaurants and private boxes allow conferences to incorporate breakouts, exhibitions, catering and hospitality in the same venue.
The huge outdoor estate is another differentiator. With more than 330 acres, extensive parking and the Cotswold setting, Cheltenham can accommodate team building, automotive events, experiential activations and outdoor exhibitions alongside traditional indoor conferences and dinners.
