Brighton Racecourse

Brighton Racecourse is one of the most exciting, vibrant, race tracks in the South of England and with its fantastic location the seaside course is perfect for a great day out with corporate clients, friends or family.

Brighton Racecourse is situated on Whitehawk Hill, around 1 mile away from the coast. It originates back to 1783, when the first official race was held in the area. These days the racecourse hosts flat racing fixtures from April until October as well as a number of other events throughout the year.

The track is quite unusual, as it is one of the few British courses not to have a complete circuit. Instead, it has an undulating, left-handed, horseshoe-shaped course of one mile four furlongs in length. The mile four start is the lowest point of the course, with the Winning Post being the highest, and there is an uphill climb from two furlongs out.

Today, Brighton Racecourse is well renowned for being one of the friendliest in the UK and we aim to offer a fantastic day out. To provide the best experience possible, we have gathered some useful information for both first-time visitors and returning guests to help you plan and prepare for your visit.

Savour luxury catering and entertainment while being immersed in an adrenaline-fueled atmosphere. By adding race day hospitality, your day can be elevated whether you're looking to enhance your race day, celebrate a special occasion, or impress a client.
