BET365 Craven Meeting Hospitality Packages

More about the BET365 Craven Meeting:

Taking place from Tuesday, 14th to Thursday, 16th April 2026, the highly anticipated Bet365 Craven Meeting is set to make its return to the iconic and historic Newmarket Racecourse, which is one of the oldest horse racing venues in the country and the world.

This race course was established in 1636, with King Charles II making history years later by winning the inaugural Newmarket Town Plate in 1665, and by doing so, he officially became the first (and currently only) reigning monarch to ride a winner in this prestigious race to date.

As for the Craven Meeting itself, it dates back to its first three-day fixture, held in 1771. The feature race of the annual event, the Bet365 Craven Stakes, takes place on the second day.

Field of Gold is the most recent winner of this particular race, doing so in 2025 with Jockey Kieran Shoemark on board the John & Thady Gosden-trained horse at Newmarket.

The pre-race favourite met expectations, whilst also fending off some stern competition from the likes of Harry Davies’ Wimbledon Hawkeye and William Buick’s Aomori City, who went on to settle for what were second and third place finishes in the end.

At Eventmasters, we are delighted to offer two luxurious VIP Hospitality Packages for the latest iteration of the Craven Meeting in 2026: our Champions Gallery Restaurant and Private Grandstand Box Packages.
