The Christmas Meeting (formerly known as the International Meeting) is a horse racing event held annually in December at the "Home of Jump Racing" - Cheltenham Racecourse. The meeting covers 2 days and has 14 exciting races.
In the midst of the festive season and with Christmas just around the corner, racegoers from all walks of life rarely leave the racecourse after the Christmas Meeting without having had a fabulous day out. As the name suggests, runners and riders from across the world can be seen racing with most coming from France, Ireland, and Britain. Like the November Meeting and the Showcase Meeting, this event is a great opportunity to see some of the hopefuls for Cheltenham's biggest meeting, the Festival™.
Don that 'retro' Christmas jumper and kick off your festive season in style.
