Plumpton Racecourse

The sport of kings offers something for everyone on race days, so make sure you visit Plumpton Racecourse whenever you get the chance. Something of a hidden gem for many people, it’s perfect for days out with a difference. Visitors get a chance to enjoy the thrill of jump-racing in an idyllic setting, one that’s been hosting races since the 1880s.

Plumpton Racecourse holds around 16 race days in the year, through from September to May. One of the best things about this course is its relative compactness compared to other venues, which allows for exceptional views across the whole of the course. And don’t ever worry about not being a racing expert, because it’s just as much fun for the novices as it is for the seasoned racegoers.

In addition to the sport itself, you can also look forward to exceptional food and drink outlets, including the likes of the Paddock Restaurant, the Final Fence Restaurant, the Southdown Bar and Café, Chasers Bar and the Coffee Hut. Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’re sure to find it here.

And of course, there’s a chance to have a little gamble at Plumpton Racecourse. There’s nothing quite like the joy of a win, especially when the action is taking place right in front of you. Imagine roaring your horse to the winning post and beating the bookies in the process! Whether you’re a careful gambler risking nothing more than a pound or two or you see yourself as something of a high roller, the experience is always an enjoyable one. There’s nothing quite like actually being there.

Get ready for a very special day out

On racedays, the relaxed atmosphere is helped by the lack of a formal dress code. The racecourse encourages smart casual clothing, so you can look forward to a glorious occasion without having to compromise on personal comfort. Obviously, some of the restaurants and private boxes will be a little more formal, but you can find all the information you need in advance on their website.

If you’d like to become more involved with the venue, you might want to consider becoming a member. There are many benefits to this, including access to all main areas of the racecourse, free racecards, a reserved car park, a members’ viewing area and discounts on various hospitality purchases.

It’s also worth noting that there’s more than just racing at Plumpton. The venue also hosts important business conferences, impressive festivals and wedding ceremonies with a stunning backdrop. And for the last word in raceday comfort, why not treat yourself to a private box? Located in the Southdown Stand, these are perfect for celebrating a special occasion or hosting a business day for your most important clients.
