Ladbrokes Christmas Festival
Day one focusses on the race that underpins the entire festival – The King George VI Steeple Chase. The race draws incredible talent as horses, jockeys and trainers compete to leave a permanent mark in racing history.
Tickets go on sale in August. Sign up to our newsletter to make sure you don't miss the exclusive launch!
What could be better than quality Jump racing, impeccable service and an indulgent festive meal? We are taking enquiries now for the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival this December. If you are interested in attending and enjoying some of the most exclusive and best seats in the house, please get in touch today.
The Grade 1 race first ran in 1937 and was named after the newly crowned king. It was won by Southern Hero who, to date, remains the oldest winner of the race at 12 years old. The King George VI Chase is synonymous with some of the most famous names in racing with Arkle, Pendil, Wayward Lad and Best Mate all taking their place on the roll of honour. 2019 saw an eleventh King George for Paul Nicholls as Clan Des Obeaux notching up back to back wins in the race.
Don't miss a second of the action at your day at the races. With five to choose from, read our guide to the enclosures and decide which is best for you. Kauto Club and Premier Enclosure Reserved seats often sell out, so why not sign up to our newsletter to make sure you don't miss the 2020 launch!
The biggest bonus in Jump racing is offered to any horse which can win the three most prestigious Grade One staying chases in the 2019-20 season; the Betfair Chase, the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase and the Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup.
