Jump into the festive season with the all-new Coral Gold Cup.

That’s right, it’s the same but different as we introduce The Coral Gold Cup Meeting on Friday 25 & Saturday 26 November. What we can promise you is two days of brilliant racing action including the prestigious £250,000 Coral Gold Cup, formerly known as the Hennessy Gold Cup for almost 60 years and for the last five years as The Ladbrokes Trophy.

Get your friends together to kick off the festive season in style. With signature cocktails and an afterparty for the grown-ups, you won’t want to miss this event. You can also expect the afterparty again with the fabulous band 29 Fingers from approx. 10 minutes after the last race until 6pm.

We will be operating both Premier and Grandstand Enclosures on this day.

EXCLUSIVE ENTRY
Your ticket will also include exclusive entry to the recently launched Great Christmas Carnival in the centre of the course. Be the first to see this large scale Christmas event and get into the festive spirit before anyone else! Find out more here > greatchristmascarnivalnewbury.com
