CHELTENHAM NATIONAL HUNT FESTIVAL

Cheltenham Festival is the most prestigious event in the National Hunt Racing calendar, and marks the start of the Corporate Hospitality season. The event attracts huge crowds throughout the week and has its own heliport with courtesy transport to the racecourse.

With a history dating back to 1902, this year’s four day Festival starts on Tuesday 16 March. St Patrick’s Day brings a special Irish atmosphere on 17 March, and Thursday 18 March is Ladies Day when the focus is on fashion. The Festival climaxes on Friday 19 March with the National Hunt Steeplechase – the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Elite Helicopters specialise in flights to special events, including horse racing, polo matches, motor racing, regattas and music festivals. Our fleet ranges from the recession-busting Robinson R44 through to the VVIP Agusta 109, and also includes the ever-popular Jet Ranger, Long Ranger and AS350 Squirrel.

Elite Helicopters is offering a bespoke helicopter charter service to the event. Using an Agusta 109, which can carry up to six passengers in comfort, a flight from London (Battersea) Heliport to Cheltenham will take only 35 minutes. The same flight from Goodwood will take only 40 minutes. This means you can see your horse in the last race at Cheltenham – and still be home for dinner!
