FESTIVE FAVOURITES
Stuck for Christmas party ideas? Want to get the whole family together? Look no further than the Jockey Club’s winter wonderland of festive racing
CHRISTMAS COMES BUT once a year. Luckily, for racing fans in the South West that’s not true of festive fixtures. From December 6 right up until New Year’s Day, the region’s racecourses are a stuffed stocking of treats to choose from. Here we take a look at what’s coming up at Cheltenham, Exeter, Warwick and Wincanton so you can start putting some tickets on your Christmas list. And you’ll be spoilt for choice. As well as standard entry options at all courses, there are hospitality packages for the various rooms, restaurants and boxes at all the venues. And you can bring along all the
where high-calibre racing is the order of the day. You’ll find carol singers and Christmas trees to get you in the mood. But it’s New Year’s Day that really sums up what holiday horse racing is all about. This hugely popular meeting is a big day out for Gloucestershire. Unlike The Festival TM presented by Magners, which is a truly national affair, New Year’s Day is very much a local tradition. With seven excellent quality races throughout the day, it’s no surprise this is where ITV makes its live coverage debut for the year. Nothing says festive fun more than family. And at Cheltenham it’s no
family without it costing the earth because under-18s can come for free. But be warned, many of these popular meetings sell out every year. So whether you’re coming together with family to celebrate the season, donning your dancing shoes with colleagues for the work Christmas party, or shaking off that holiday hangover, make sure you take advantage of early bird offers and secure your tickets today. Cheltenham Christmas kicks off at Cheltenham with The International on December 14-15,
