Racecourse Guide
An extremely popular National Hunt track with more than a modicum of charm, Fontwell is one of only two racecourses run over a figure-of-eight circuit, the other being Windsor. Total refurbishment of all grandstands in the late nineties has vastly improved facilities for racegoers. A new £6.5 million grandstand was opened in the Premier Enclosure in 2010.
Punters are provided with the rare option of viewing races from inside the course to get right in amongst the racing action. Fontwell is a sharp track: the hurdles course is a left-handed oval and the chase course a figure-of-eight, which suits fast, accurate jumpers who like to race up with the pace. Conditions can get extremely testing here so a race like the Southern National certainly provides a test of stamina.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had her first ever winner here when Monaveen won the Chichester Handicap Chase in October 1949. Fontwell is notable for its course specialists including 14 times winner Certain Justice and 11 times winner St Athans Lad. Famous course winners include two-time Champion Hurdler Comedy Of Errors and dual Stayers’ Hurdle winner Baracouda, who won the National Spirit Hurdle here in 2001.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Fontwell combines its unique trackside action with a superb range of hospitality packages. The course restaurants and bars all provide stunning views of the racecourse against the backdrop of the Arundel scenery.

Marquee hospitality is also available during the summer fixtures and there are numerous food stands around the course.
Fontwell Park is located on the A27/A29 roundabout between Chichester and Arundel in West Sussex. The closest railway station to the racecourse is Barnham with frequent trains from London Victoria, Portsmouth and Brighton.
