Giving the gift of two brilliant days of winter racing action to help kick off the festive celebrations, The Christmas Meeting comes to Cheltenham Racecourse on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 December 2025.
Showcasing top-class jump racing with one of the most significant hurdle races of the entire season, there are seven races each day with highlights including the Unibet Middle Distance Veterans' Handicap Steeple Chase on Friday and The Nyetimber December Gold Cup on Saturday.
There's lots of festive family fun to enjoy, too, such as the chance to meet Father Christmas's reindeer, join his elves for gift-making and the opportunity to bump into the big man himself as he strolls around the grounds.
Andy Overton will fill the afternoon with yuletide cheer in the form of timeless Christmas classics to really get you into the spirit.
And don't miss out on taking part in the Christmas Tipster Competition, where those who are feeling lucky can make and submit their predictions before the second race of both days to be in with a chance to win fantastic prizes, including tickets to the iconic Cheltenham Festival in 2026.
Tickets to The Christmas Meeting are available at thejockeyclub.co.uk/cheltenham/events-tickets/the-christmas-meeting, with prices ranging from £11.70 per person for the Best Mate Enclosure to £26.54 for the Club/Tatts Enclosure.
Under-18s go free and groups of over six people can save on tickets with a ten per cent discount – but please note, ticket prices go up when bought on the gate, so Cheltenham Racecourse encourages racegoers to book in advance.
