GLAMOUR, RACING AND TAKE THAT AWAIT AT FONTWELL PARK LADIES EVENING

Looking for the perfect summer evening out during your visit to Arundel? Just a short drive from the heart of the town, Fontwell Park Racecourse is preparing to host one of the highlights of the Sussex social calendar – Ladies Evening on Friday 28 August.

Combining thrilling horse racing, fabulous fashion and fantastic live entertainment, it’s the ideal excuse to gather friends, dress to impress and enjoy a memorable night out.

The evening features an exciting programme of live jump racing, alongside the ever-popular Style Awards, where racegoers are encouraged to showcase their race-day glamour. Whether you opt for a stunning dress and statement hat, a stylish suit or a contemporary look, everyone has the chance to get involved.

This year’s Style Awards will be judged by an impressive panel of local fashion and beauty experts, including Stephanie Ridge from Glorious Spa, award-winning milliner Jeanette Battersby-Wilcox of Sea Horse Millinery, and stylist Amber Jackson from Amber Style Edit. The winner will also receive a luxury prize courtesy of Glorious Spa.

But the excitement doesn’t stop when the final race finishes.

Racegoers can stay on for an evening of entertainment, including a live performance from The Take That Experience, celebrating the biggest hits from one of Britain’s most-loved pop groups. V2 Radio presenter Gary Booker will then keep the party atmosphere going with a live DJ set before the evening comes to a spectacular close with a breathtaking drone light show illuminating the skies above Fontwell Park.

If you’re looking to make the occasion even more special, new for 2026 is The Horsewalk Lounge. Located beside the Parade Ring, this exclusive hospitality experience includes admission, a raceday programme, delicious street food from Feast Street and two hours of bottomless beer, wine, prosecco and soft drinks from gates opening. Guests can also relax in a stylish indoor-outdoor lounge complete with deckchairs, garden games and convenient betting facilities, all just moments from the racing action.

Whether you’re a racing enthusiast or simply looking for a fun evening with friends, Ladies Evening offers the perfect blend of sport, style and entertainment just minutes from Arundel.
