The Open
Three days of racing magic - 13th, 14th & 15th November
The Open represents three days of the best that racing has to offer, with something for everyone. 18 races see many of the best horses in Europe going head to head, with exisiting and future champions thrilling the crowds.
The highlight of the meeting is Saturday's Paddy Power Gold Cup, a race that has been a Cheltenham feature since 1960 and won by many of the sports greatest names.
Friday is the hugely popular Countryside Raceday, with a traditional country fair atmosphere. Camel Racing, the Stallion Parade and up to 80 trade stands mean that there is something on offer for all tastes. Add in the thrills of top class racing, the season's first Cross Country Steeplechase over our unique course combining hedges, banks and timber rails and you have a wonderful sporting day out which is normally enjoyed by in excess of 20,000 people.
Sunday sees the up and coming stars of the hurdling world take centre stage in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle.
The Open has developed into a major festival over the last decade and is a weekend of entertainment, sport and fun not to be missed.
