Thrilling horseracing on the Barbury downland

Barbury Castle has hosted racing for over 100 years, since Aubrey Hastings and Ivor Anthony dominated the Flat and Jumps calendars in the early years of the twentieth century. Now you can enjoy highly competitive steeplechasing in the natural amphitheatre of Barbury Racecourse each winter across four fixtures from December – April. This is the home of racing in Wiltshire, an estate which also hosts top trainer Alan King, with Emma Lavelle, Brian Meehan and George Baker a stone’s throw away. But each day is not just about the racing; there’s shops, a bar, bookmakers and fun for all the family in the bracing fresh air of Barbury.

What’s the craic, Boys? The Irish are coming!

This January, Barbury stages the first ever international Point-to-Point steeplechases in the UK. We’re expecting a strong team from Ireland to try and take the record prize money back home, and it’s more than possible an invasion may come from the outer reaches of the UK too, as the Welsh and Scottish limber up for this inaugural fixture. Come and see the best of British against the rest at Barbury on January 14.
