Desert Orchid Chase Day

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Kempton Park Racecourse for the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival.

We hope that the weather will be kind but such is the nature of the great British weather, we cannot guarantee it will be! Therefore we suggest you dress appropriately and keep an eye on the forecasts ahead of the event.

Parking 

Our Main Car Park has now sold out - please do not arrive to this car park unless you have a pass for this car park. There is still parking available in Car Park B.

Public Transport

South Western Railway will operate a Sunday service on the 27th December with trains running on the hour from London Waterloo. We recommend you monitor any updates and plan your journey in advance.

There will be roaming music throughout the day across the racecourse. Our equine ambassador, Coneygree, will be joining us; he'll be parading before racing begins at 12:00PM in the Parade Ring and take the oppurtunity to meet him at his stable throughout the day! 

There will be free entertainment for the little ones including face painters a and bubbologist on the ground floor of the grandstand.
