Cheltenham racecourse has effectively confirmed that crowds at its showpiece meeting will be down for the third year running when the 2025 festival opens today, while also suggesting "unforgettable days out" for racegoers this year will be the catalyst for a revival in the festival's fortunes from 2026.

The overall attendance at the Cheltenham festival last year was 229,999, a drop of 18% on the record attendance of 280,627 in 2022, amid complaints from racegoers about the price of admission, food and drink and accommodation in the local area for spectators attending multiple days.
