The first ever Boodles Gold Cup Community Tour will see the famous horseracing trophy visit businesses in Cheltenham and Gloucester, giving local people the chance to snap selfies.
The Gold Cup has been run and won in Cheltenham nearly every year since 1924, but holding the trophy is an honour usually reserved for race winners.
