About the Windsor Racecourse

Royal Windsor racecourse offers the unique blend of charm, comfort and excitement which epitomises horseracing. You can choose from 29 racemeetings from April to December, including 17 Monday evening meetings. 25 of these are flat meetings with 4 in November and December being the new National Hunt fixtures.

The racecourse has also extensive facilities in 165 acres of grounds for other functions including conferences, exhibitions, fun days, dinner dances and weddings.

The Track
The course at Royal Windsor is the only figure-of-eight flat course in the country, and the sharp bends mean that the focus is on speed rather than stamina, though the effect is slightly offset by the long home straight of almost five furlongs. It is completely flat and has a circuit of 1 mile 4½ furlongs.
