Venatour Racing Around The World is the UK’s leading horse racing travel company, with more than 25 years of experience creating unforgettable racing holidays. Their mission is simple: to make the world of horse racing more accessible, taking racing enthusiasts to some of the most iconic festivals and unique racecourses across the globe. From the roar of The Cheltenham Festival and the glamour of Dubai, to hidden gems off the beaten track, Venatour Racing Around The World specialises in giving racegoers a truly personal, five-star service.
Marc Blackford, Director of Horse Racing Travel at Venatour Racing Around The World, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with the Point-to-Point Authority and GB Pointing for the 2025/26 season. As keen supporters of the sport, we’re excited to work together in growing awareness and celebrating everything that makes Point-to-Pointing so special.
My own connection with the sport goes back over 20 years, when I had shares in horses trained by Mervin & Lin Loggin and regularly ridden by Stuart Morris. We enjoyed some great success and had plenty of fun travelling the country. That link continues today through regular visits to local courses such as Cocklebarrow and Chaddesley Corbett. This year we were proud to sponsor a race on the Cheltenham Hunter Chase Card – fittingly won by Paddy Barlow, whose family joined us on our Velká Pardubická tour last year.
We look forward to sharing with the Point-to-Point community our fantastic range of horse racing tours across the world.”
Tiggy Vale-Titterton, Digital & Content Marketing Manager at the Point-to-Point Authority, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Venatour Racing Around The World as an official national partner. Point-to-Pointing has always been about community, passion and shared experiences, and Venatour Racing Around The World brings those same values to their racing adventures across the globe. This partnership opens the door for our supporters to enjoy unique opportunities, whether that’s meeting Venatour Racing Around The World on course, joining a trip abroad or even winning the fantastic holiday prize. We’re excited to see our community benefit from their expertise and enthusiasm.”
