Festivals of Racing work with UK and Irish racecourses to offer discounted tickets to go racing, all-inclusive day-racing racing trips and luxury short-break racing packages with travel, tickets, accommodation, food & drink and entertainment at the most popular racing fixtures & festivals.
Our racing connections enable us to offer corporate and VIP racing hospitality with private box, champagne reception, private dining and entertainment at the top racing fixtures in the UK and Ireland. Race sponsorship and even race horse syndication can also be arranged.
Experience the best of both worlds with a horse racing & golf break offering keen golfers and racing enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience both sports, in an exclusive “all-in-one” package.
Our all-year short sports break concept combines a day of golf at a championship level golf course + a day at a UK or Irish racing fixture with hospitality, hotel stay, often with spa facilities, as part of the package.
Our summer day racing / golf packages include a half-day on the golf course, half-day visit to a training yard and see the horses work out on the gallops followed by evening racing at one of the UK’s best racecourses with first class hospitality.

THE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2014
Cheltenham Festival is most famous for the Gold Cup race; the world’s most prestigious National Hunt race which takes place on Day 4 of the Festival at Cheltenham Racecourse and the highlight of the Jump racing season.
The Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup roll of honour reads like the ‘who’s who’ of racing including KAUTO STAR, DENMAN, 3-time winner BEST MATE, ARKLE, GOLDEN MILLER & MILL HOUSE. With a £475,000 prize fund the Gold Cup is the UK’s most valuable non-handicap chase.
Run since 1819 when SPECTRE won 100 guineas by coming first over a 3-mile flat course on Cleeve Hill overlooking the Racecourse – the Gold Cup changed from a flat to a jump race in 1924 when a prize of £685 was awarded RED SPLASH; the first winner over jumps.
Experience for yourself the roar of the crowd on Champion Day with the Champion Hurdle, the glamour of Ladies’ Day and the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the ‘craic’ of St Patrick’s Thursday and the incredible finale of the big feature race on Day 4 of the Cheltenham Festival; the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Our 2014 Cheltenham Festival page is not quite ready yet but you can still read all about the history of this great racing festival on our Cheltenham Festival 2013 page here…
