Dear all,
We hope you are keeping well and are looking forward to an exciting season of jump racing ahead.
Following its success during the 25/26 season, we will be continuing to allocate specific bookmaker
car parking passes.
The Purple & Yellow Car Parks are often the most popular car parks however these have the smallest
capacity out of the three areas we offer bookmaker parking. To ensure that Bookmakers can park within
a reasonable distance to their pitch, we are continuing the following process:
Bookmaker Off-List Parking Pass
Bookmakers who own an Off-List pitch at Cheltenham Racecourse are entitled to one parking pass per
owned pitch. Each pass is allocated dependent on the location of the owned pitch/betting ring. The
allocation will be as follows:
Course (Best Mate) – Purple Car Park
Tattersalls & Rails – Yellow Car Park
Courtyard & Lower Tattersalls – Red Car Park
To claim your off-season parking pass, please follow the below link and complete the application form:
https://forms.gle/GRUAT3DGXvdrnQb89
Please note that the Off-Season Parking Pass is only valid for the following meets:
- The Showcase – 24th & 25th October 2025
- The Christmas Meeting – 12th & 13th December 2025
- New Year’s Day – 1st January 2026
- Festival Trials Day – 24th January 2026
- The April Meeting – 15th & 16th April 2026
- Race Night – 1st May 2026
If you require accessible parking or have a preferred parking location due to accessibility requirements,
different than to the allocated car park for your betting ring, please refer to the application form and
include this information where applicable.
The deadline to apply for a parking pass in time for the Showcase Meeting is Friday 17th October 2025.
Due to limited capacity, parking passes are issued on a first come first served basis. Once an area is
filled, we will only be able to offer the nearest alternative.
Bookmakers Festival List Parking (The November Meeting & The Festival)
The Bookmakers Festival List Car Parking Pass will be subject to a separate application and further
details for this will be sent out in due course. This will be applicable for the November Meeting and The
Festival.
We thank you for your cooperation on this matter and should you have any questions at all, please do
not hesitate to contact the team via the Cheltenham Bookmakers email address. Wishing all a
successful season ahead!
Kind regards,
The Cheltenham Racecourse Team
