Travel guide

Know before you go

Getting there

Fly direct from London by helicopter in around 45 minutes, or take a light jet into Gloucestershire Airport, a few miles from the course. Oxford and Bristol suit guests coming in on larger aircraft.

On the ground

Festival traffic around Cheltenham is famously slow. Helicopter arrivals at the racecourse and chauffeurs from Gloucestershire Airport take the stress out of race day.

Book early

Gold Cup Day is the busiest. Helicopters and landing slots for the Festival are booked months in advance.
