Birmingham Gold Cup Lunch 2025

Our Birmingham Gold Cup Lunch will be taking place in the Banqueting Suite once again in 2025, at one of the country’s most famous and iconic cricket grounds, Edgbaston.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the most important steeplechase in the world, with the names of some of racing’s greatest equine superstars etched on the coveted trophy including Arkle, Desert Orchid and Best Mate, with 2024’s race being superbly won, for the second time, by the favourite Galopin des Champs, ridden by Paul Townend, and trained by the irrepressible Willie Mullin!

On what is sure to be another thrilling day, we are delighted to welcome a very special guest, that will be revealed in the coming months. Our event will also feature a comedy set from TV comedian.. With live music from our Irish band, a superb three course lunch, the full Cheltenham card on our giant screen, our in-house bookmaker, and racing tipster service, this is an event not to be missed.

David Fulton

David enjoyed a 15 year career with Kent, playing in 200 First Class matches with an average in the high 30s, and over 100 one day games. His best season came in 2001, when he scored an incredible 1892 First Class runs at an average of just under 76, being crowned PCA Player of the Year. Since retiring from the game in 2006, David has forged a career as a cricket journalist and event host, appearing regularly on Sky Sports’ cricket coverage. In 1993 he took the catch to dismiss Viv Richards in his final First Class innings! A sports fan, David has previously hosted our Lord’s Long Room Lunch and Birmingham Gold Cup Lunch on numerous occasions as well as last year’s World Cup screening at Edgbaston.

Edgbaston Stadium

We are delighted to be holding our event in the Banqueting Suite at Edgbaston Stadium, which is a fantastic large facility, perfectly suited to our event. This is the stadium’s premium pitch-facing facility, enjoying magnificent views over the middle, and plenty of natural light. Our guests will enjoy quality dining and service for which Edgbaston is rightly renowned, with ample complimentary parking for all attendees.
