There is free car parking at both Toddington and Cheltenham Race Course stations. But a word of warning: if it looks as if there is going to be heavy rain it might be best to park at the Racecourse rather than the field at Toddington, which can become muddy in extreme weather. If the weather does turn nasty though, and your car loses traction, we will help drag you out with a tractor at the end of the day. There is limited parking at Winchcombe while roadworks scheduled for the period of the Festival may make getting to the station difficult. Both Toddington and Cheltenham stations will be AA signposted.

If you are using a navigation tool such as AA route finder or a sat-nav, Cheltenham Race Course station does not have a post code allocated but key in GL50 4SH which will take you in to the main entrance of the racecourse. Toddington station is at GL54 5DT.

Public transport: from Cheltenham Spa (NR) station a bus leaves every 10 minutes (20 minutes on Sundays) bound for Bishops Cleeve and/or Gotherington. Ask for the Park and Ride at Cheltenham Racecourse. The station is then a 10-minute walk along the main distribution road within the Racecourse grounds (keeping the main buildings on your right). We are hoping to run a vintage bus service from Cheltenham Spa and Cheltenham town centre to the GWR station on all four days – news later. See getting to the GWR elsewhere on this site which has full directions to all of our stations.
