Best of Brighton

Brighton is an incredibly vibrant city and one Brighton Racecourse wants to pay homage to on their first raceday of the year. Themed around the ‘Best of Brighton;’ the racecourse is taking key elements from the community we are lucky to be part of. The Season Opener will celebrate all that’s great in Brighton, combining exhilarating racing with music, shopping, great food and so much more!

There will be an indoor market showcasing some of the best businesses in Brighton, which all of our visitors are welcome to wander around in between the races. There will also be entertainment from the wonderful Kemptown Carnival – and what could be more Brighton than stilt walkers and unicyclists!

Local trade stands will line the walls of our buildings, so you can browse, sample, buy or just get more information about amazing products from local vendors. Businesses such as Komedia and Lucky Voice Karaoke will be showcasing what they have to offer, and will make your day at the races even more fun filled. There will also be the opportunity to sample delicious street food from a variety of stalls.

Kemptown Carnival will be giving racegoers a taste of what’s coming up in their carnival this summer, spreading their infectious joy with a troop of singers, circus acts and so much more! Kids will love the fun that they bring, and with anyone under 18 getting free entry, it’s the perfect Saturday afternoon activity.

As always at Brighton’s race days, there are a series of thrilling flat races where you can place your bets after seeing the horses in the parade ring, and then watch the horses fly towards the finishing post. We have some of the best views over Brighton, with the sights from the stands offering panoramic views over the city and sea.

The first race will go to post at 4.40pm, and the last of seven races will be at 7.45pm, so coming racing for the Season Opener is a brilliant way to celebrate the longer days. It will a great occasion to get together with friends before heading into town for the evening.
