FAQs

About Fontwell Park Racecourse

Fontwell Park Racecourse is a National Hunt venue located in the village of Fontwell in West Sussex, England, a short distance from Arundel and the south coast. The course is owned by Arena Racing Company and hosts jump racing throughout much of the year.

What makes Fontwell Park especially distinctive is its layout: the steeplechase track is a true figure-of-eight, the only jumps course of this kind in the UK, wrapped around a more conventional oval hurdles circuit. This quirky configuration, set in attractive countryside, creates a tight, tactical test that rewards nimble, well-balanced horses and gives racegoers excellent viewing angles.

The racecourse’s headline event is the Grade 2 National Spirit Hurdle, run over intermediate trip in late winter and recognised as a trial for major staying races at the Cheltenham Festival. Other important fixtures include the stamina-sapping Southern National over fences and busy family-friendly days such as Boxing Day Racing, which combine competitive action with a lively social atmosphere.

Opened in 1924 by trainer Alfred Day, Fontwell Park quickly developed a reputation for characterful, intimate jump racing, and its history is dotted with notable moments, including providing the first winner as an owner for the then Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth II. Today a modern grandstand and regular themed racedays keep Fontwell Park firmly on the map for fans who enjoy close-up viewing and traditional National Hunt racing charm.
