Join us at Cheltenham Racecourse on Friday, 14 November 2025 for Countryside Day, the much-anticipated start to the November Meeting and a standout date in the rural calendar.
The day begins in spectacular fashion with a meet of hounds at 11am in the Parade Ring where beagles, basset hounds, foxhounds and harriers will take centre stage along with representatives from local packs of hounds parading on hunt horses.
This striking display sets the tone for a day packed with a countryside atmosphere and top-quality National Hunt racing, including the thrilling Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase.

This year, Cheltenham are offering a special “multi-day” ticket offer where you can buy a full-priced Club enclosure ticket and enjoy 20% off a ticket for any other day of the November meeting. Please note: you are unable to use our promo code for the multi-day ticket offers.
The Countryside Alliance will be hosting members in our exclusive members’ area, ideally located near the shopping village. It’s a perfect spot to meet friends, grab refreshments and chat with Alliance staff about our current campaigning work on behalf of the countryside.
We're also pleased to be supporting the Injured Jockeys Fund through our annual silent auction, launching in advance of the meeting. The auction will feature premium items for lovers of racing and field sports, from shooting days and fishing trips to hunting and racing experiences. Full details will be announced soon via our website and social media.
We look forward to returning to Cheltenham on Friday, 14 November, for what promises to be another wonderful gathering of our members and supporters on Countryside Day.
As part of our ongoing commitment to those who are at the forefront of hunting with hounds, the Alliance is delighted to announce that the bucket collection which takes place after racing will help raise important funds for the Hunt Staff Benefit Society this year.
