Cheltenham Christmas Meeting 2026 – Cheltenham Racecourse – Private Grandstand Box
The Cheltenham Christmas Meeting (formerly the international meeting) is set to make its long-awaited return to the iconic and historic Cheltenham Racecourse for two more days of enthralling racing action from Friday 11th December to Saturday 12th December 2026.
There is no better way to experience the race meeting than with Eventmasters’ Private Grandstand Box VIP Hospitality packages for the day(s) you spend at the event. The leading race of the entire race meeting is, of course, the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup, which is also known as the December Gold Cup.
History is undoubtedly synonymous with the December Gold Cup, a race that has been run for decades since its first renewal back in 1963, when the Danny Morgan-trained Limeking was guided to victory by jockey Toss Taaffe.
The most recent winner, in 2025, was Glengouly, ridden to success by jockey Sean Bowen, who steered the Faye Bramley-trained runner home ahead of strong challengers, including Dylan Johnston’s Vincenzo and Jonjo O’Neill Jr’s pre-season favourite Jagwar, who ultimately finished in second and third place respectively.
Enjoy this festive horse racing extravaganza at one of the country’s and the world’s oldest and most prestigious racecourses in December 2026 with our Private Grandstand Box VIP Hospitality Package with Eventmasters Corporate Hospitality.
