The Jockey Club signs deal with Thompson Sport

The Jockey Club has signed a three-year deal with Thomson Sport to become official travel partners.

Thomson Sport will create travel packages around the sport’s major races – including the Grand National, the Derby, the Cheltenham Festival and the Guineas meetings.

They will also be developed around The Jockey Club’s music nights, which have attracted more than 500,000 people over the past two years.

Packages will include race tickets and transport as well as optional extras such as meals, hospitality and hotel accommodation.

“This year, British racing has enjoyed increased attendances and TV audiences. Westage some of the best events in the world at our venues and working with the right partners can help us to broaden our sport’s appeal and keep growing,” said Simon Bazalgette, of The Jockey Club.

“Together we can offer fans of racing, sport and live events a host of special experiences to remember.”
