Caravanners planning a day at the races during the Cheltenham Gold Cup Festival are being invited to stay at one of the Camping and Caravanning Club’s sites.

Winchcombe is just a 20-minute drive from Cheltenham racecourse and is home to 96 quality camping and caravanning pitches.

Cheltenham 2011 will be taking place from March 15th to 18th, with the Centenary Day taking place first, followed by Ladies Day, St Patrick’s Day and Gold Cup Day, so there will be plenty for everyone to enjoy.

As the Camping and Caravanning Club pointed out, Winchcombe is ideally situated just nine miles from the centre of the horse racing action.

And with the 2011 festival being the event’s 100th year, it is sure to be a popular one, so caravan owners are advised to book their pitches soon.

Mike Nicholas, a spokesman for the Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “Winchcombe is in a great area for exploration, and the Gold Cup is one of many activities you can enjoy during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you.”
