A specially created site where containers were converted into temporary accommodation for Cheltenham Festival fans has been shelved due to lack of bookings.
The ‘fan village’, situated on a training pitch used by Cheltenham Tigers Rugby Club, was billed as offering travellers to the meeting a cheaper alternative to hotels and B&Bs whose prices rocket during the four day fixture.
Rooms in a pop-up unit at the Stay Lets Village and Caboose Town, where there was also to be a terrace, restaurant and bar, were available from £950 for a twin room for a minimum five night stay.
