The car park serves the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway station rather than a conventional daily commuter station, so drivers should approach via the racecourse complex rather than Prestbury street parking. [Free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) is also available at Cheltenham Racecourse station, alongside the railway’s sites at Toddington and Winchcombe (Visit Gloucester). Cheltenham Racecourse offers plenty of on-site car parking, and public parking is free for race meetings except where event arrangements apply (The Jockey Club). Festival visitors need a car parking pass purchased before the day, because on-the-day sales are not provided (The Jockey Club). ## Parksy Parking Near Cheltenham Racecourse Railway Station Parksy lists a driveway space near the Skin Clinic Cheltenham, 0.6 mi away, at £4.20 a day. A secure and accessible space near Pittville Pump Room is 0.7 mi away and costs £20 an hour. The New Barn Lane space is 0.8 mi away at £26.25 a day, while a 24/7 space in Prestbury, GL52, is also 0.8 mi away at £18.75 a day. For shorter stays, the Prince of Wales Stadium space is 1.2 mi away at £4.50 an hour. A space at Big Sleep Cheltenham is 1.5 mi away and costs £4.80 a day. The lower daily rates suit visitors leaving a car for a full day, while the hourly listings are better suited to a shorter appointment or visit. The Prestbury listing is the closest Parksy option described as 24/7. Show map of Queenswood ## Commuter Parking, Festival Access and Busy Periods The racecourse car park is designed around access through the racecourse complex, and the railway station forms part of a heritage railway site rather than a standard commuter interchange. The large hard-standing area provides free parking for railway visitors (GWSR), making it the most direct choice when the railway is operating. Festival parking needs more planning: car parking passes must be purchased before the day, with no on-the-day sales (The Jockey Club). GWR also directs drivers towards alternative parking at [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) in The Brewery Quarter, GL50 4EJ, and Arle Court Park and Ride, GL51, when attending the festival. Those arrangements are more relevant during major race meetings than on an ordinary heritage-railway visit. ## Rail, Bus and Park-and-Ride Connections From Prestbury The station is served by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway, with its wider network linking the racecourse site to Toddington and Winchcombe. Free parking is available at those two stations as well as at Cheltenham Racecourse station (Visit Gloucester), giving drivers alternatives when a longer heritage-railway journey is planned. Cheltenham Spa Railway Station is another alternative rail connection, with [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) listing station parking and location code 2112 (APCOA). GWR also names Arle Court Park and Ride as an alternative for festival travel (GWR).
