Horse racing aficionados flock to Cheltenham every March to enjoy the world-famous Cheltenham Festival. This four-day national hunt racing event offers prize money second only to the Grand National, and is always full of passion and excitement. Indeed, the famous Cheltenham ‘roar’ refers to the amount of noise that the crowd generates, enhanced further, no doubt, by the fact that this event normally coincides with St Patrick’s Day celebrations!
Outdoor events in March bring with them their own challenges, of course, with the weather in the lead up and during the event always seeming to play its part. And, with any major event such as this, large quantities of furniture hire are required due to the fact that hospitality and catering areas are always in huge demand.
And this is, of course, where Event Hire UK comes into its own, supplying over 4,000 chairs and 700 tables for this event. Chair styles included Chiavari chairs, Napoleon chairs and Rio chairs in a variety of different colours, providing modern and engaging event furniture hire for different hospitality chalets around the site.
This is, of course, not the first time our team have supplied Cheltenham Festival, and this experience always pays off in the lead up to the event, with familiarisation of the site and requirements enabling us to provide a seamless hire experience to our client.
We were also delighted to receive a card in the post with some kind words from the Cheltenham Festival team, which you can find below.
“What a fabulous four days of the 2024 Festival, culminating in the race of the century….the Boodles Gold Cup with Galopin Des Champs, deservedly crowned champion for the second time running.
No-one should underestimate the massive amount of work that goes into the preparation and delivery of one of the five biggest sporting events in the UK. Massive credit to you and your team for your contributions to the success of this amazing event. The weather was unfortunately not our friend this year, and therefore even greater credit is due to everyone. Hosting and preparing an event of this magnitude in March is no mean feat!
A huge thank you for your efforts.
Roll on the 2025 Festival!”
