Cheltenham Festival 2026 is on the horizon and tickets are selling fast. From March 10 to March 13, thousands of horse racing fans will descend on the iconic Cheltenham Racecourse.
For those looking to push the boat out, there’s still some VIP and hospitality tickets on offer, offering complimentary food, drinks and unrivalled views of the action. All this is available from Seat Unique, but there are only ‘limited availability’ remaining.
There’s still time to secure a spot for each day of the festival, including Champion Day, Ladies Day, St Patrick’s Thursday and Gold Cup Day. There are also general admission tickets from The Jockey Club, with a variety of ticket options for every day of the event up for grabs.
Here are the details for VIP and hospitality Cheltenham Festival tickets:
Cheltenham Festival VIP and hospitality tickets
Seat Unique’s VIP and hospitality tickets are still available for the Cheltenham Festival. For £799 per person, attendees can enjoy an all-inclusive experience in the Champions Club Restaurant, with a four-course meal and complimentary bar open until the start of the final race.
This also includes access to a viewing box overlooking the racecourse for brilliant views of the track, plus a Club badge providing full access throughout the course. Champions Club Restaurant tickets have ‘limited availability’, with only day two and three available.
Day three of Cheltenham (St Patrick’s Thursday) currently has the most ticket options, with prices ranging from £799 for the Champions Club Restaurant to £1,179 for the Chez Roux Restaurant. The latter is hosted by Michelin star chef Michel Roux Jr. and includes a four-course fine-dining experience along with canapes and a Moet champagne reception.
Further hospitality options for day three include the Final Fence Restaurant (£1,019), inclusive of a four-course grand buffet in the heart of The Village – next to the Guinness Village – overlooking the final fence the horses jump before racing up the hill to the Winning Post. Guests of the Four Eighty Restaurant (£1,069) will enjoy a cocktail reception, three-course luncheon, complimentary bar and club access at the festival.
There are still plenty of tickets up for grabs each day for The Alan Brazil and Ray Parlour Suite, a course-facing hospitality suite hosted by the football icons. Prices range from £1,099 to £1,249 depending on the day of attendance, which also includes a club enclosure admission badge, VIP hostess service and a celebrity tipster.
The day will kick off with a bucks fizz reception followed by a four-course meal, afternoon tea, and a complimentary bar. A celebrity tipster will also be on hand to provide expert insight, while all the racing action will be shown live on TV and guests can enjoy other benefits such as inclusive car parking and a free racecard and newspaper.
Cheltenham Festival 2026 general admission
The Jockey Club is the official seller of general admission tickets, where entry-level access begins at £54 per person for the Best Mate Enclosure. Reserved seats in the Guinness Grandstand start at £130 for the site brand ‘one of the best views’ in racing.
Cheltenham tickets can also be found on resale sites such as viagogo and StubHub, but some are currently priced higher than face value when booking fees are added. On the other hand, shoppers may find a bargain as people list their tickets closer to the event.
