Our London Gold Cup Lunch will once again be taking place at one of the world’s most famous and iconic cricket grounds, The Oval, where we will be located in the luxurious 175 Suite.
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.
Our special guests are still to be confirmed for 2026, but as always they’ll be in the company of our regular host from Sky Sports, Pete Graves. Our professional tipster will also be giving his thoughts on a cracking card at Cheltenham. This all-inclusive package includes a three-course meal, six-hour complimentary bar of beers, wines and soft drinks, big-screen coverage of the racing, and the chance to hear from these two sporting icons.

One of the world’s oldest and most iconic cricket grounds, The Oval has been the home of Surrey CCC since 1845; it was the first English ground to host Test cricket, and internationals have been played here ever since. The 175 Suite is within the Kia Oval’s recently opened Galadari Stand; situated on the second floor it offers a fantastic view of the famous Oval wicket and abundant natural daylight.
