Racegoers at Cheltenham Festival have already showed off an array of daring ensembles so far this week – and today was no different as revellers arrived at the popular horse racing event.

While events such as Ascot have a strict dress code, there’s no formal guidelines for Cheltenham – meaning racegoers can express their creativity, as well as allowing for more racy looks. 

There have been several royal visits to Cheltenham already this week, with the Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Anne and Zara and Mike Tindall all seen gracing the racecourse.

Cheltenham is always popular with celebrities and sports stars, with Dom Joly, Jeremy Kyle, Phil Tufnell and Georgia Toffolo putting in an appearance so far. 

Security was tight at the racecourse, which has been patrolled by armed police since 2016. 

However, Gloucester Police has urged racegoers not to be alarmed by the sight of armed officers, insisting that they’re present as a precaution to reassure the public. 

Organisers this year are making a concerted efforts to clamp down on ticket touts and have been repeating messages over the tannoys, warning that people caught selling on tickets will be ejected from the site.
