Whether you are a National Hunt racing fanatic, a passionate punter or a complete newbie, a day spent at the Cheltenham Festival would be an occasion you wouldn’t forget in a hurry. Finding the perfect tickets for you can be a painstaking task, but, fear not, we are here to help!

Here are all the various Cheltenham Festival ticket prices which are currently available to purchase and, most importantly, how much they cost!


Best Mate Enclosure Tickets


The Best Mate Enclosure is the most affordable ticket option at the Cheltenham Festival, allowing ticket holders to rub shoulders with their fellow punters along the rails, easy access to the betting ring and offering excellent views of the on-track action from directly opposite the grandstand.

As with all ticket options at the Festival, discounts are available when you buy in bulk. A racecard is included in the Cheltenham Saver package, while Raceday Essential ticket holders will receive vouchers for food, drink, betting and a racecard, along with their general admission.

Best Mate Enclosure Prices

Raceday Essentials Package - £59.00 (£79.00)

Cheltenham Saver - £43.50 (£63.50)

Cheltenham Adult - £41.00 (£61.00)

Cheltenham Adult Group 15 Plus - £37.00 (£57.00)

Tattersalls Enclosure Tickets


The Tattersalls Enclosure is the middle ticket package at the Cheltenham Festival, offering buyers the best of both worlds. Ticket holders can stand down by the winning post if they wish, or they can take their place on the Tattersalls Grandstand Viewing Steps.

The Raceday Essentials Package in the Tattersalls comes with the same vouchers as you would get in the Best Mate Enclosure, but ticket holders are free to go and watch the champions do the rounds in the Winners’ Enclosure, once the race has come to an end.

Tattersalls Enclosure Prices

Raceday Essentials Package - £74.00 (£94.00)

Cheltenham Saver - £58.50 (£78.50)

Cheltenham Adult - £56.00 (£76.00)

Cheltenham Adult Group 15 Plus - £52.00 (£72.00)

Club Enclosure Cheltenham Tickets


Club Enclosure tickets provide punters with the chance to get up close and personal with the horses and jockeys around the Parade Ring before each race, along with access to the Winners’ Enclosure. This Package also provides the widest choice of prime viewing spots from the main grandstand right up to the Winning Post.

Again, the Raceday Essential Package includes food, drink and betting vouchers. For all three of the standard ticket packages, Raceday Essential and Cheltenham Saver Package’s are only available in advance. Club Enclosure tickets do not come with a Group 15 Plus discount.

Club Enclosure Prices

Raceday Essentials Package - £104.00 (£111.00)

Cheltenham Saver - £88.50 (£113.50)

Cheltenham Adult - £86.00 (£129.00)

Restaurant Packages for Cheltenham


If the culinary offering served up in the many refreshment stalls are not refined enough for your palette, then one of Cheltenham’s various Restaurant Packages could be perfect for you and your Festival party. 

There are five Restaurant Packages available, ranging from the Gold Cup Package, right up to the Chez Roux Package – which includes a Moet Champagne reception, canapes, a four-course meal and afternoon tea. Obviously, the level of cuisine you will consume goes up as the price of the package increases, but with every restaurant package, you will receive general Club admission, an official racecard and car parking tickets for one or two people.

Restaurant Package Prices

Gold Cup Restaurant Package - £465.00

Champions Walk Restaurant Package - £500.00

The Horse and Groom Package - £560.00

Theatre @ The Festival Package - £700.00

Chez Roux Restaurant Package - £800.00

Private Box packages can also be purchased if you want to enjoy the action from a more secluded setting. All four Private Box options come with morning coffee and biscuits, a four-course set lunch menu and afternoon tea, apart from the Chez Roux Private Box, where ticket holders will enjoy canapes and an exquisite lunch menu devised by Albert Roux.

Private Box Tickets

Parade Ring Viewing Boxes – From £525

Final Fence Boxes – From £530

Cleeve View Boxes – From £600

Chez Roux Boxes – From £900

All four days of the Cheltenham Festival feature a variety of top quality races - from thrilling novice contests, to exciting handicaps and prestigious Graded races. Some tickets can be purchased on the day, but if you are serious about attending the Festival, leave nothing to chance and book in advance!
