The Cheltenham Festival is home to 28 races across four days, with prize money of over £4.5 million. The Festival welcomes over 265,000 racegoers to watch the finest participants in the sport compete for the highest honours. 

A much loved literature festival in the heart of the Cotswolds and only a 20 minute drive from The Old Post Office. Our programme covers fiction, poetry, and non-fiction including biography and memoir, and we have events on royalty, spying, fraud, history, politics, celebrity, journalism, nature, rural life, mental health, cycling, religion, gardening, music, arts and crafts, and photography. Our objectives, as always, are to host events that are lively, entertaining and informative: illustrated talks, lectures, interviews, discussions, readings and film. Having heard our writers, we invite you to experience the joy of buying real books – signed by the authors – from Kevin’s Borzoi Bookshop table. Our thriving Cotswold market town with a huge range of B&B and self-catering accommodation, great places to eat and drink, unique shops, magnificent Wool Church, and an Arts and Crafts Museum is the perfect festival destination.
