FAQs

About Brighton Racecourse

Perched on Whitehawk Hill above the city, Brighton Racecourse overlooks the English Channel and delivers one of British racing’s most distinctive seaside atmospheres. The course is left-handed and undulating, with a sharp, testing layout that rewards balance, tactical speed and a well-timed challenge.

Racing at Brighton dates back centuries, with modern fixtures building on that tradition each summer. Seasonal highlights include the Brighton Festival, popular Ladies Day, and the Season Finale, while handicaps such as the Brighton Mile Challenge Trophy, Brighton Challenge Cup, and Brighton Bullet bring competitive fields and lively local support.

Beyond the racing, Brighton’s coastal setting, city nightlife and easy transport links make it a favourite for casual racegoers and holidaymakers. Expect sweeping sea views, quick ground in settled weather, and a friendly crowd – ideal ingredients for an enjoyable day at the races.
