About Chepstow Racecourse
Chepstow Racecourse lies just north of the Severn Bridge in Monmouthshire, Wales, making it the principal venue for Welsh National Hunt racing. Opened in 1926 on the former Piercefield Park estate, the left-handed, undulating track stretches two miles around and enjoys a picturesque backdrop of rolling countryside.
The course’s flagship fixture is the Coral Welsh Grand National, traditionally run on 27 December and renowned for gruelling conditions that test stamina to the limit. Other notable graded contests include the season-opening Persian War Novices’ Hurdle in October and the Finale Juvenile Hurdle over Christmas, both important markers for future Cheltenham Festival stars.
Away from the racing, Chepstow hosts popular themed days such as Ladies Day and the Jumps Season Opener, combining live music, hospitality and countryside views that draw crowds from Bristol, Cardiff and beyond. Excellent rail links to Chepstow town and ample free parking make the venue an accessible day out for families and hardened punters alike.
