Excessive drinkers 'not welcome' at Cheltenham Festival

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Cheltenham racecourse has imposed a limit on buying alcohol and have said those who come to drink too much are "not welcome" at this year's event. A limit of four alcoholic drinks at a time will be imposed on visitors buying a round of drinks. Complimentary hospitality bars will also close earlier. The restrictions have been brought in following a couple of incidents at last year’s festival. Ian Renton, the Managing Director of Cheltenham Racecourse, told 5 live Breakfast: “If you want to come here just to drink too much, you're not welcome. If you want to come here and drink as part of a wonderful day out, you won't notice anything different to what you've been doing previously." This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Tuesday 14 March 2017.
