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.
