01 — Saturday 26 December 2026
Treat Boxing Day as its own travel day
The Jockey Club lists King George VI Chase Day at Kempton Park on Saturday 26 December 2026, the first day of the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival. The programme includes the King George VI Chase and Christmas Hurdle. FCET uses the confirmed enclosure and earliest guest commitment, then places every home or hotel collection before the final racecourse approach.
Kempton Park Racecourse is on Staines Road East, Sunbury-on-Thames TW16 5AQ. The venue describes its road position on the A308 between Sunbury and Hampton Court, close to M3 junction 1. The chauffeur follows current Christmas Festival instructions, signs and stewards for the final approach. No particular entrance, passenger point, parking right or waiting place is assumed.

03 — Boxing Day rail limits
Keep the complete road movement in one booking
Kempton has its own station, but official venue guidance says trains do not run on Boxing Day. FCET can therefore record the full road journey from home or hotel in both directions. If the party has a separate rail leg, its exact station and service belong in the itinerary. Otherwise the vehicle continues to the agreed final address.
Boxing Day travel can combine family addresses, winter clothing and overnight bags. Business or First may suit a couple; XL gives a larger group more room, subject to the declared load. Several pickups are possible in a workable order. Each address affects departure, and one lead passenger handles immediate messages for each vehicle.
04 — Service on the day
Boxing Day travel is planned as a road journey
The car plan records every home or hotel collection and the return destination, keeping the party independent of the railway timetable on the fixture date.

Make the return a deliberate part of Christmas plans
The party may return to one family address, divide between hotels or continue to an evening gathering. FCET records those destinations, a collection window and a public reference, then checks the usable approach before guests walk. Guests gather before leaving their enclosure and acknowledge the chauffeur’s message. Any fixed dinner or onward connection belongs in the itinerary.
The linked Kempton Park Racecourse guide provides useful venue context alongside the passenger’s ticket and current Christmas Festival instructions. Representative road figures give broad context. The confirmed booking uses full addresses, passengers, belongings, requested arrival and return.
