Fontwell Park is a diverse leisure venue that offers everything from horse racing to large outdoor events such as concerts. The Racecourse is undoubtedly one of the most intimate and friendly racecourses in the country and its unique figure of eight track adds to the excitement of Jump Racing.
Fontwell Park Racecourse - Racing
One of two figure-of-eight steeplechase courses in the country (the hurdles track is a left-hand oval) and a track that stages the valuable National Spirit Hurdle Fontwell Park really brings the excitement up close. The key fence on the steeplechase course is the plain obstacle opposite the stands at the beginning of the back straight; the fence has a slight drop to it and horses often quicken on the approach. A good jump here can gain five lengths.
Fontwell Park Racecourse Facilities
There are two enclosures at Fontwell Racecourse – the Premier Enclosure and the Grandstand and Paddock Enclosure. A ticket for the Premier Enclosure allows access to all public areas of the racecourse including the new £6.5m 888sport Premier Grandstand.
