The countdown is well and truly underway. In two weeks' time, on Tuesday, March 14, the runners and riders will be ready to thrill the crowd and line the pockets of some fortunate winners.

The Cheltenham Festival 2023 is roaring back to town at Prestbury Park and GloucestershireLive can't wait to bring you all the action over four fantastic days of racing.

To get you in the mood, we are going to be looking back at some of the images from last year's festival. Below, we start with Champion Day 2022.

Pictures from around the racecourse show punters getting back into the swing of festivities, posing for selfies and swilling Guinness. Thanks to Mikal Ludlow Photography who took the images last year.
