Frequently Asked Questions

About Plumpton Racecourse

Located in the village of Plumpton, East Sussex, Plumpton Racecourse is one of the most picturesque small National Hunt racecourses in the country. It first opened for racing in 1884 and has maintained its charming, rural character ever since, providing a friendly and intimate atmosphere for racegoers against the backdrop of the South Downs.

The track itself is known for being a tight, undulating, left-handed circuit of just over a mile. Its sharp turns and testing uphill finish make it a true test of a jump horse’s agility and stamina, often favouring nimble and well-balanced runners. This unique configuration consistently produces exciting and competitive racing throughout the season, which runs from September to May.

Plumpton hosts around 17 fixtures each season, with its two flagship events being the Sussex National Raceday in early January and the popular two-day Easter Festival. The feature race, the Sussex National Handicap Chase, is run over a challenging three and a half miles and is a highlight of the southern jumps calendar, attracting quality fields year after year.
