Cheltenham Festival 2023: What women face during race week
More police are patrolling the streets during Cheltenham Festival to try to make women feel safe during the 2023 four-day event.
More than 68,000 people watch the races, with hundreds heading to local bars after-hours.
Some women have told the BBC they are reluctant to work while the event is on, because they fear being propositioned or sexually harassed.
