Racecourse Information
The History
Chepstow Racecourse hosts 32 Jumps and Flats fixtures annually. Highlights include the prestigious Coral Wealth National just after Christmas, Caribbean Night in January and the Family Fun Racedays with FREE entry and entertainment for children in April and August. In recent years, the racecourse has also had a special relationship with music - Madness, Tom Jones and UB40 have all played. This year saw Simply Red take to the stage and provided the perfect evening out following the racing. Indeed, a day out at Chepstow Racecourse should certainly not be missed, especially when you consider children under 18 go free!
Chepstows track is a left handed, oval circuit of just under 2 miles and provides a real test of stamina, particularly in the Winter months. The Jumps and Flat run adjacent to each other and inter-join at approximately the 5 furlong marker in the home straight.
