- Overview
Combine a fantastic experience at Cheltenham's Gold Cup day, with the ultimate in style and luxury, travelling on the vintage Northern Belle train.
Begin the day in awe at London Paddington, as you approach this beautiful train, greeted by liveried stewards and enjoying a red carpet welcome to board. Take your plush seats and admire the intricate furnishings and floors on board, before our journey starts.
From the comfort of your exquisite Pullman carriage, enjoy fine foods and drinks as we travel cross country, beginning with a Bellini brunch as we study the form and get some racing advice from the onboard tipster.
Take in the views as we journey to Evesham, at the heart of the Cotswolds, where we take a short coach journey to Broadway and join a magnificent steam train for the onward 45 minute journey. We’ll travel through rolling countryside scenery, before arriving in unique and nostalgic fashion, directly at the back of the Main Grandstand at the racecourse.
With this fantastic package, your Club Enclosure ticket allows access to prime viewing lawns, located by the winning post, parade ring and several bar facilities.
After an action-packed day of racing and experiencing the amazing atmosphere of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, you can skip the crowds and rejoin the steam train back to Broadway, take the short coach transfer to Evesham and rejoin the majestic Northern Belle. On our return journey you can recall memories of the day, whilst savouring a five-course meal, paired with specially selected wines. With glass of champagne in hand, this is certainly an experience worth toasting.
