CHELTENHAM doesn’t need any sideshows and yet they have quite a few non-racing events planned for the Festival.

As part of the drive to make racing open and accessible to all, the Racing Realm Activation Zone presents an opportunity for everyone to learn more about jump racing. Virtual reality equi-cisers will enable racegoers to live out the dream of riding a Festival winner. The Activation Zone will also include an area dedicated to the invaluable work of the Cotswolds Riding for the Disabled Association as well as a fan photography area and the chance to win prizes in a Racing Around The World competition.
