When you need to dust off the Christmas cobwebs after all the Christmas overindulgence, what could be better than a day at the races at Fontwell Park?
The Boxing Day race meeting at Fontwell Park is a firm favourite for Sussex locals, seeing thousands flock to the UK’s only figure of 8 jumps track for a day out with friends and family.
There’s a wonderfully relaxed feel to the occasion as you enjoy some much welcome fresh air in the West Sussex countryside. There’s no better way to get the family out together.
Enjoy several lively National Hunt races. Cheer on your favourites over the hurdles and steeple fences, before applauding your trusted favourite in the Winners Enclosure.
The main entrance car park will be open on Boxing Day and is operated on a first-come, first-served basis. You cannot book this car park.
Should you like to pre-book car parking, you can book the Centre Course parking space. This has limited availability and we recommend booking this far in advance to avoid disappointment.
Fancy levelling up your family’s day? Check out our Boxing Day Marquee and hospitality packages.
Our Marquee provides a covered and warm place to stay in-between races. There will also be a bar available to Marquee customers only.
For those looking for an impressive hospitality experience, you can book private boxes and the Premier Lounge Restaurant via our trusted partner, Seat Unique.
Children 17 and under go free* to the races when accompanied by an adult (*exclusions may apply). Children do not require a ticket in advance and a free ticket will be issued on the day.
Concessions discounts are only available on the day.
All bookings directly through our website and over the phone with our customer service team do not incur a fulfilment fee – the price you see, is the price you pay! Bookings through our official hospitality partner Seat Unique have a fulfilment / booking fee applied. All bookings are made in accordance with our terms and conditions of entry.
