VIP and hospitality tickets for the Cheltenham Festival 2026 are selling out rapidly, with only limited availability remaining for the four-day event set to take place from March 10 to 13. Organizers have confirmed that demand for premium experiences is outpacing supply, with only a few options left for each day of the iconic horse racing festival.

VIP Packages Offer Premium Experiences

Seat Unique, the official provider of VIP and hospitality tickets, has confirmed that its most popular offering—the Champions Club Restaurant—has limited availability at the time of writing. The package, priced at £799 per person, includes an all-inclusive four-course meal, complimentary bar access, and exclusive viewing boxes overlooking the racecourse. According to Seat Unique, only day two and three of the festival currently have availability for this option.

Day three of the event, St Patrick’s Thursday, has the most ticket options available, with prices ranging from £799 for the Champions Club Restaurant to £1,179 for the Chez Roux Restaurant. The latter is hosted by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr. and includes a four-course fine-dining experience, canapes, and a Moet champagne reception. Further options include the Final Fence Restaurant (£1,019), offering a four-course grand buffet in The Village, and the Four Eighty Restaurant (£1,069), featuring a cocktail reception and three-course luncheon.

Football Icons Host Hospitality Suite

Another popular option is 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 and include a club enclosure admission badge, VIP hostess service, and a celebrity tipster. The day will begin with a bucks fizz reception, followed by a four-course meal, afternoon tea, and a complimentary bar. Guests will also have access to live racing coverage, inclusive car parking, and a free racecard and newspaper.

Seat Unique has emphasized that while general admission tickets are still available through The Jockey Club, the premium experiences are increasingly difficult to secure. Entry-level access begins at £54 per person for the Best Mate Enclosure, with reserved seats in the Guinness Grandstand starting at £130. These tickets are also available on resale platforms such as viagogo and StubHub, though some are currently priced higher than face value when booking fees are included.

Cheltenham Festival 2026 Race Schedule

The full race schedule for the festival has been released, with each day featuring a series of high-profile Grade 1 and Premier Handicap races. Day one, Champion Day on Tuesday, March 10, will see the Unibet Champion Hurdle, one of the most prestigious races in the UK, take place in the afternoon. Day two, Ladies Day on Wednesday, March 11, will include the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase, while St Patrick’s Thursday on March 12 will feature the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase.

The festival will culminate on Gold Cup Day, Friday, March 13, with the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup, the most famous race of the event. The Gold Cup Day will also include the JCB Triumph Hurdle and the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle, offering a full day of racing action for fans.

With only limited availability for VIP and hospitality packages, those interested in securing a premium experience are advised to act quickly. The Cheltenham Festival 2026 is expected to attract thousands of attendees, with the event continuing to be a major draw for horse racing enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.
