Celebrate Our 100 Years Anniversary of Fontwell Park

Join us for evening jump racing at Fontwell Park for a fantastic atmosphere to share with colleagues, friends and family, as we celebrate the joy of our centenary raceday!

A Rich History

To celebrate 100 years of Fontwell Park, we'll be hosting a fantastic evening of food, music and entertainment inspired by the last 100 years, from the 1920s up to the present day. Get ready for an evening unlike any other at Fontwell Park as we throw it back to where it all began in 1924, when our founder, Alfred Day, first opened the racecourse. Over the years it's undergone extensive work to make the racecourse what it is today. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Alongside our usual brilliant horseracing, we'll also be hosting great entertainment:

🎪 Memorabilia marquee showcasing artefacts from the last 100 years

🎶 Live music from Jazz Band & Dicey Riley

💃 Charleston Dancers

💥 Exceptional gala dinner (details below)
