Ladies Day at the Races

Get into the glitz and glamour of Ladies Day at Plumpton Racecourse on Sunday 14 May. It’s a great excuse to dress up while enjoying all the excitement of horse racing at this really intimate course in Sussex. And there are prizes for the Best Dressed Lady, Most Dapper Gent, Best Dressed Boy or Best Dressed Girl, so get out those glad rags and show just how stylish you are.

For this special racing event, Plumpton is offering the ultimate in hospitality with a Glitz and Glamour package at £85 per person. This includes top-price admission to the racecourse, a welcome drink, a three-course lunch, complimentary ice cream or sorbet and insight into the racecard with a Plumpton tipster. As well as all that, there’s live music exclusively in the Plumpton Marquee.

If you feel more inclined to eat alfresco, then you have the option to park up course side with a picnic and pop a glass of fizz – or two. Advance picnic enclosure tickets start at just £10. Cheers to that!

Everyone gets a free racecard and car parking is also free. Find all the information and book tickets at for Ladies day at plumptonracecourse.

Of course, with so many other wonderful things to do locally, why not make a weekend of it, with a stay at one of Short Stay Lewes’ fabulous bed and breakfasts or self-catering studios? Think about a visit to the

Bluebell Railway, Sheffield Park and Nymans’ National Trust property. You could spend a whole day just in Brighton, walking the lanes, checking out the views from the i360 or visiting the Royal Pavilion. Lewes, too, is a great town to while away a few hours, with its castle, Anne of Cleves house and all its antique shops.
