The Cheltenham Festival is contemplating a significant change to its traditional schedule, considering a switch from its current Tuesday-Friday lineup to a Wednesday-Saturday format. While discussions are underway, festival officials emphasize that no final decisions have been reached and that plans remain in the early ‘concept’ stages.
The potential schedule adjustment aims to better accommodate attendance and viewership patterns. However, organizers are taking a cautious approach, carefully weighing the implications before committing to any changes.
For now, the iconic National Hunt racing event remains focused on delivering a successful festival under its current schedule, with further updates expected as discussions progress.
