RETURN STEAM TRAIN TRANSFER |
Our magnificent steam train transfer travels from Toddington Railway Station directly to the back of the main Grandstand at Cheltenham Racecourse. The steam train is extremely beneficial to guests as there is a lot of traffic in and around Cheltenham and the surrounding area, and it can be very difficult getting in and out of the racecourse. With the train, you and your guest will miss all of the traffic and congestion and you will arrive nice and relaxed, in style and together as a group.
Toddington Railway Station is ideally situated in a completely traffic free part of the Cotswolds, and it is very easy to get to from most places. Once you have arrived, guests can relax and indulge in the nostalgic and tranquil setting or some may wish to take a few pictures of the magnificent and priceless locomotives before taking their seat.
A full cash bar service is also available throughout the outbound and return journey where tea, coffee, beers, wines, soft drinks and Champagne is available to purchase from our on board staff. The steam train will depart Toddington and will embark on a 35 minute journey through the beautiful countryside of the Costwold, Malverns and Vale of Evesham. You will arrive relaxed and in style as you pull into Cheltenham Racecourse station which is situated just a furlong from the Paddock and opposite the North entrance. You will pass close by the long traffic queues to get in and out of the racecourse – a truly amazing and amusing experience.
The steam train will depart back to Toddington 30 minutes after the last race has finished, leaving you plenty of time to collect any winnings, finish off your hospitality and return to the steam train. You will also miss all of the traffic in and around the Cheltenham area on your return journey.

NEW FOR 2018 – CHASE VIEW BOXES
Shared and private course facing boxes with views over the racecourse and final fences |
The Cheltenham Festival is without doubt the greatest racing Festival of the year, as the sight of the very best National Hunt horses leaping the Cheltenham fences is breath taking. Our private and shared Chase View boxes have balconies that give you a wonderful view of the horses jumping the most important fences in a race, the last two, before powering up the hill to the winning post. The winners are often the horses that jump these last two fences quickly and fluently. It is a wonderful sight and so convenient in that as soon as the race is over you will be able to take a few steps back to your table to continue your hospitality and anticipate the next race and try to predict the drama and result that will unfold.
Private boxes are available for groups of 30 / 40 + guests with smaller numbers accommodated in shared boxes. Our private and shared boxes are located on two levels in the temporary structure by the last fences. The boxes are glass fronted, course facing with viewing balcony and in a prime position standing very close to the trackside.
The boxes are the best available at Cheltenham outside of the main Grandstand, offering a stylish and spacious area in which to entertain. There is also a large TV screen opposite the balcony so it is easy for clients to follow their race selections. Betting facilities & toilets are easily accessed on the box corridor, avoiding the hassle of having to travel outside of your box into the crowds.
The day is further highlighted by a racing tipster who will come into the box and go through the card. Our Chase View team of tipsters include the following (tipsters subject to availability / change):
