Cheltenham Festival Marquee - Friday 13 March 2026
Experience the ROA Marquee at the 2026 Cheltenham Festival
The Cheltenham Festival needs little introduction. Four unforgettable days when the Cotswolds become the beating heart of our sport: world-class jump racing and unrivalled atmosphere.
For ROA members, that magic comes with an added layer of comfort and community, with the return of the ROA Cheltenham Festival Marquee, running from Tuesday 10 – Friday 13 March 2026, which continues in its popular home next to the Festival Shopping Village.
The marquee offers a welcoming social spot: a place to settle in with fellow owners, enjoy food and a drink between races, review the form, compare notes and celebrate (or commiserate) together.
What to Expect
The ROA festival marquee provides an ideal retreat from the bustle of the track. Visitors will find:
- Contactless bar
- Hot and cold food available for purchase
- Tote betting facilities
- Seating and tables (unreserved)
- Daily Champion Tipster competition
It’s an excellent space to relax, talk racing, and soak up the festival atmosphere.
Booking Information
ROA and Racegoers Club members can reserve places for themselves and up to three guests. Places are limited, so early booking is strongly advised.
Prices (per day per person):
- ROA Member: £76 (inc VAT)

Whether you’re looking for a comfortable base, a social space to meet fellow owners and ROA members, or a spot to study the card before cheering your horses home, the ROA Marquee promises a warm welcome and a memorable Festival experience.
We look forward to seeing you there!
