Lingfield Park Racecourse

Lingfield Park Racecourse is a horse-racing track in Lingfield, Surrey, United Kingdom. It opened in 1890, at Racecourse Rd.

History of Lingfield Park Racecourse

1890 – The Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) opened the racetrack and agreed to let Lingfield incorporate the Prince of Wales feathers into its official heading. Originally, it only hosted jumps racing.

1894 – The Jockey Club granted permission for flat racing to be held.

1932 – The first Derby Trial Stakes was run at Lingfield Park, and the first Oaks Trial swiftly followed it; these both still feature annually as one of the most prestigious fixtures.

1939 to 1945 – During World War II, the War Office requisitioned the estate for use as a prisoner-of-war internment camp for Italians. The Home Guard also used the home straight for practicing marches & attacks. 

1954 – The racecourse is featured in the 1954 film The Rainbow Jacket.

1987 – In June 1987, the owners constructed a Golf Club across the open fields and through the adjacent woodlands. The initial intention was to include conference facilities, motels, swimming pools, tennis and squash courts. However, these plans were not deemed acceptable. The same year, planning permission was obtained to install the first artificial racetrack in the UK.

1989 – A new Equitrack all-weather racecourse opened inside the redesigned turf course on November 16, 1989.

1997 – Arena Leisure PLC acquired Lingfield Park.

2001 – The existing artificial surface was replaced with a Polytrack, which opened on November 13, 2001. Due to this, it became best known as a winter all-weather flat-racing course rather than the usual turf found in the UK. Moreover, it is also the only one to host all three race types flat turf, flat all-weather, and National Hunt.

2002 to 2003 – The back straight on the turf course was improved and, combined with a £5.5 million investment in the main grandstand

2004 – Other visitors’ facilities were also improved, which further helped to re-position Lingfield Park and become a profitable racecourse.

2007 – Planning permission was received for a 116-bedroom, 4-star hotel, leisure club, swimming pool, conference, meeting rooms, offices, and a new golf academy overlooking the racecourse in the footprint of the old Silks and Marley grandstands.

2008 – Construction commenced in May 2008, and in the same year, a franchise agreement was reached with Marriott Hotels to create the Lingfield Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club.

2009 – We celebrated the 20th anniversary of Lingfield Park’s innovative introduction of All-Weather Racing in this country in November 2009.

2010 – The hotel opened on schedule in May 2010. The existing golf club, which has hosted the Surrey Open, is incorporated within the hotel, with the 18-hole course open to members and non-members.

2012 – In March 2012, Arena Leisure PLC, which owned Lingfield Park & 6 other racecourses in the UK, merged with Northern Racing to create Arena Racing Company. Owning 40% of the UK’s racing fixtures.

    • It is triangular and features a continuous climb to the end of the back straight before a sharp turn and steep descent to home.
