Planning Your Day

Racing and Resort Combined

What sets Lingfield Park apart is its combination of serious racing and resort facilities, and understanding this helps you plan the kind of day or break you want. On the racing side, the all-weather Polytrack track is one of the busiest in Britain, hosting fixtures year-round regardless of weather, alongside traditional turf flat racing in the summer and National Hunt jumps in winter — so there's almost always something on. This variety makes it a reliable destination for a day at the races whatever the season. The resort element — with its on-site hotel, golf course and spa facilities — means Lingfield works not just as a raceday venue but as a short-break destination, where you might combine an afternoon's racing with a round of golf, a spa treatment and an overnight stay. That makes it popular for group getaways, celebrations and corporate days. Its location near the Surrey-Sussex border, close to Gatwick and the M25, makes it accessible for visitors from London, the South East and those flying in. A fixed-price transfer suits both the raceday visitor and the resort guest — door-to-course or door-to-hotel, with a group kept together in an 8-seater and no one having to drive. Whether you're after a day's racing or a fuller break, having the transport sorted lets you relax into it.
