There are a multitude of ways to travel to Fontwell Park Racecourse. When we asked Mike Parcej, a friend of the racecourse and passionate horse racing fan, here's what he had to say:
"Easy by train, but the last two miles not so easy, luckily you use the ARC shuttle bus from Barnham station. Barnham is also on the main London Victoria to Chichester line. If you live in the South, the coastal line from Southampton to Brighton is probably a better option, most services stop at Barnham. The racecourse itself is in Westergate, which has a few infrequent bus connections. There is a 66C from Bognor Regis that stops at Barnham, and an 85 bus service from Chichester to Westergate, depart 7.49, 8.59 and 10.59, return 13.17, 15.26 and 17.14 not Sundays. However if travelling from London, there is a very useful 11.55 bus from Arundel Riverbank direct to Westergate. Sadly the last return bus is at 15.20!"
