Cheltenham Racecourse is holding their annual New Year’s Day race meeting and it seems to be growing in popularity. Last year saw hundreds of eager Pony Club members and racing enthusiasts alike flocking to Cheltenham to see the very best horses, trainers and jockeys take part in the unique celebrations.

The New Year’s Day meeting includes a whole host of festive attractions and even an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour for Pony Club members; all held in the stunning natural amphitheatre that is the Cheltenham Racecourse.

If you plan to go to this unique New Year’s event, why not consider staying in the beautiful regency town of Cheltenham for a few days? Its traditional English atmosphere, stunning period architecture and ideal location makes it an ideal base for touring the Cotswolds.

However, hotels and guesthouses in Cheltenham fill up extremely fast before race events, but campervan or motorhome hire can be the perfect solution. Most companies will hire them for any number of days depending on your preference, and there are a vast range of different sizes and models available. This means you can kick off the New Year in style with just your partner, or take the whole family along to Cheltenham Racecourse.

The Cheltenham Racecourse New Year’s Day meeting will take place on January 1st, and tickets start from £10.
