Dig out your lederhosen, long socks and feathered hats – and get practicing your yodelling: Cheltoberfest is coming to Cheltenham Racecourse for the first time at the end of October, promising a unique thigh-slapping Cotswolds/ Bavarian celebration alongside the sporting action.

Launching Cheltenham Racecourse’s new 2019-2020 racing season with the sounds of oompah trumpets, Cheltoberfest will take place in The Centaur during both days of The Showcase, on Friday 25 October and º£½ÇÉçÇø 26 October 2019.

There will be energetic live music from the Bierkeller Boys, a range of local real ales and Magners Cider to cheers with, and a racing tipster before the horseracing action commences – with plenty of Oktoberfest frivolity and fancy dress expected too.

Tickets including access to both the Racecourse and Cheltoberfest cost £40 in advance or racegoers with Club/Tattersalls tickets can add-on entry to Cheltoberfest for £15 in advance or £20 on the day.
