If you return your glass a refund of £1 will be given (The other £1 goes towards washing the glass etc before it can be re-used), You will also need to purchase a Beer Token Card(s) for the value of £10. (No cash sales at the bar). Hence a complete normal bar package costs £12. Any unused tokens can be exchanged back for cash, or donated to charity You only need to buy a bar package once, which you can use at either bar. Extra token cards can be purchased as required. An enhanced timetable will be in operation on both Friday and Saturday, including a shuttle DMU between Winchcombe and Toddington stations The normal timetable will be in operation on Sunday. Further details of train times will be available nearer the time of the event.

(Ample parking available at Cheltenham Race Course and at Toddington Station) The attendance at this event may be another record due to extra rail traffic as a result of the Broadway opening in 2018 and the extended bar opening times, so please come early if you can.
