Cheltenham Open Data Adds a Festival & Races Accommodation Guide
Cheltenham Open Data has added a Cheltenham Festival accommodation guide to the site, ahead of the Festival on 16–19 March.
The page shows hotels and guest houses near Cheltenham Racecourse at Prestbury Park, sorted by distance from the course, alongside a live availability map set to race-week dates. It’s built to help visitors sort a room early — accommodation near the course books up months ahead of the Festival.
