We’ve made several changes to our memberships for the 2026/27 season, all designed to ensure our members receive an experience that matches their expectations, while helping to reduce the overall cost of coming racing.
Favourite Membership
Senior Favourite Members will now have access to the Red Car Park at all meetings included in their membership, excluding November Saturday and The Festival. On these days, parking can still be purchased with a 10% member discount.
Favourite Members now also receive a metal membership badge and have access to two dedicated members’ areas: the Istabraq and Members Marquee.
Members can also enjoy 20% off General Admission tickets for Showcase Friday, November Sunday, December Friday, April Wednesday and Race Night.
Desert Orchid Membership
The Outsider Membership has been renamed the Desert Orchid Membership, celebrating the only grey horse to win the Gold Cup.
Desert Orchid Members aged 65+ can access the Red Car Park at every meeting included in their membership. Please contact us with valid ID to arrange this benefit.
They can also purchase a £10 Club ticket for November Saturday, as this meeting is not included within the standard membership benefits.
More Member Benefits
Favourite and Desert Orchid Members can join the Gold Cup Racing Club for £75, reduced from £110, and receive 10% off in the Gift Shop.
Princess Royal Stand Members
We’ve introduced Family Guest Badge Days, available on selected racedays excluding November Saturday and The Festival. Availability and capacity vary by raceday, so please email cheltenham.membership@thejockeyclub.co.uk to enquire.
Guests must already hold a Favourite Membership, and the benefit must be used in good faith. Any misuse may result in membership cancellation.
