This year's Cheltenham Countryside Day silent auction is now live, with an array of exciting lots available for racing, hunting, shooting and countryside enthusiasts. Bidding is taking place online and will continue throughout the ever-popular Cheltenham Countryside Day which takes place on Friday, 17 November.
To get involved, simply visit the auction website and click on the lot you would like to bid on. We are incredibly grateful to all those who have donated special lots to the auction and look forward to seeing some of the action on the day itself.
The proceeds of the auction go towards the Countryside Alliance and our campaigning work in Parliament, in the media and on the ground as well as to this year's charity partner, British Equestrian, who are aiming to raise significant funds to help our British Equestrian Teams in their quest for medals at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Keen equestrians might enjoy a lesson and yard tour with Olympic Gold medallist Laura Tomlinson, a VIP package for four people for the Defender Burghley Horse Trails 2024, or London Horse Show VIP package.
Try your luck bidding for lot 52; an invitation for two people to join the Boodles Hospitality box on Gold Cup Day at the Cheltenham Festival 2024, plus £10,000 credit to spend at the Boodles Stand.
Lot 65 might appeal to shooting enthusiasts; a simulated shoot day for 16 guns. Other exciting lots include a pheasant feather artwork commission from Clare Brownlow, a private tour of Highgrove Gardens for eight people, and a morning on the gallops with a yard tour and brunch for four people with Alan King.
As ever, there will be other lots available to bid for on the day during the live auction, including a solid bronze fox sculpture by the talented William Montgomery and a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an exquisite, tented safari in Sujan Jawai, a luxury safari camp in Rajasthan.
Don't forget, if you haven't purchased your tickets for the Cheltenham Countryside Race Day yet, you can do so on the Jockey Club website here.
Our thanks go to all those who have coordinated this wonderful array of items and to those who have donated so generously in support of the Countryside Alliance and our charity partner, British Equestrian.
