Plumpton Racecourse is one of the most successful smaller jump racecourses in the country, staging sixteen National Hunt meetings from September to May.  Our corporate hospitality boxes, Paddock bar and restaurant have wonderful panoramic views of the track and are set against the spectacular backdrop of the South Downs. Spend just an hour on the train from Central London, and you can be in the heart of Sussex enjoying a tremendous day's racing.      PRESS RELEASE   From it’s next racemeeting on Monday 12th January, Plumpton Racecourse will be offering racegoers the choice of two enclosures on weekdays – the Grandstand and Premier Enclosure.   Plumpton Racecourse previously operated 3 enclosures on weekdays however the number of customers using the third Centre Course enclosure has been in steady decline, and with aging facilities the decision has been taken to close this area for weekday meetings only (excluding Easter Monday).   Chief Executive Claire Sheppard said “Through concentrating on 2 enclosures, we can ensure we offer the best service and facilities possible for our racegoers. By using our resources more efficiently, we will have more to invest in the infrastructure and quality of racing for the benefit of everyone.   It is also very important to us to provide a quality experience for all our customers. This has proved increasingly difficult to do within the aging Centre Course buildings and with the economics of running facilities and services with very few customers.”   In recent years the public raceday offering at Plumpton has been constantly improved. Customers in the Grandstand and Premier enclosures enjoy viewing of the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure, a Big Screen at every racemeeting, a choice of Bars and numerous catering outlets, and all the buzz of the betting ring and access to two totesport betting shops.   Further details are available at www.plumpton-racecourse.co.uk or by calling 01273 890383.
