New Year's Day Racing 1 Jan 2026

The extensive parking scheme at Cheltenham Racecourse is colour-coded by parking zone and will match your label and ticket:

• Car parking - you can purchase parking in advance via the Jockey Club. If you have not purchased a label in advance, please follow the Public or Green signs. When exiting car parks, you will be required to exit via a specified route normally in the direction you came from
• Accessible car parking - this is primarily found in Red 2 by following signage. This car park is situated near to the steam railway train station, and a wheelchair-accessible buggy service operates on all racedays between there and the North Entrance
• Electric charge points – there are 2 fast charge electric vehicle Polar charging points located near the Hall of Fame entrance. Access can be restricted at some race meetings so please check the availability of the charge points in advance and be aware that your vehicle will need to be moved after parking
• Limo parking - those travelling by limousine should follow the signs for coach parks. Parking for limousines is the same price as cars and is situated in the north coach park. Cheltenham Festival limo parking needs to be purchased (£12 in advance and £20 on the day)
• Coach parking - when dropping off a coach of racegoers, please make sure you've viewed the coach parking map. Follow the coach symbol signs directing you to the closest coach park from your direction of travel no matter what colour pass the passengers may have purchased. Buses with 15 seats or less will need to purchase a public car parking pass. For coaches of 16 seats and more, please apply for a coach pass in advance. There is no access to the coach parks for coaches between 15:30 and 19:00
