Expect lively contests, tight finishes, and plenty of moments to cheer as runners thunder past the stands. It’s a proper day of jump racing in a friendly, relaxed setting – exactly what Fontwell does best.
As always, you’ll find a great selection of food and drink outlets open across the course. From warm snacks and race-day classics to teas, coffees, and something stronger, there’s everything you need to stay fuelled and cosy while enjoying the racing.
