Each year we organise reciprocal fixtures for our members to enjoy a day’s racing at other courses across the UK and Ireland.
Under the new membership offer our Insurance Bar, Princess Royal Grandstand and Cheltenham Club members will enjoy access to around 70 additional fixtures throughout the year.
Members can expect to enjoy a day out at Ascot in January, Newbury in March and Goodwood in May as well as Punchestown in April and Leopardstown in December.
Our Favourite Pass and Outsider Pass members will enjoy a day’s racing at every Jockey Club racecourse including the likes of Newmarket, Epsom and Sandown.
Our reciprocal programme is announced once the fixture list is confirmed and will be published on the Members hub of the Cheltenham website, available on request from our Membership team or on race days.
