    Visited a B2B Expo here. Great venue, lovely views from up on the hills just outside Brighton. Penty of parking which is great for any event. Would like to go back for the racing one day. Refreshments were available and a bit basic but presume that was from the expo organiser so can't consider.

    Great time in silks restaurant, food was really very good and the staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. If you enjoy a good lunch at the races you should add Brighton to your list

    Went racing on Saturday 22nd opening meeting. Premier sold out on website but you could pay £ 5 more on the day and get in the premier ,? Premier absolutely no different to grandstand. Long queues for expensive drinks served by bar staff with no experience whatsoever. You needed wellingtons to use the toilets. After racing unless you had pre booked transport. Long queues for taxis. All in all a thoroughly shambolic effort. ITV horse racing wonder why people dont go racing ???

    I'm Slovak. Andrew is just my nickname. I'm Ondrej. Saturday 27 May I ran from Richmond, London (Old Deer Park) down here to Brighton. And on Sunday I arrived here at about 19:21 in the evening (at 103rd place). This place is great.

    Great racecourse, food outlets ok, not a great choice. The track is very good. Plenty of seats at the top of steep steps. Good views over Brighton. Only negative is Card only payments for entry, food and drinks...no cash.

    If weather is good great views over Brighton and coast. Silks Restaurant -advisable to pre book large outdoor patio (for viewing only no tables!) with direct access from Silks. Excellent spot to view the Finish line and also the paddock. Whilst indoors CCTV of Races shown on monitors with commentary. TOTE betting conveniently located in Silks. If your a Gin lover you may be disappointed as when we were there only 2 Gin labels in stock. No fever tree tonic! No Ricard or Pernod. Limited choice on coffee, either black or with milk! Serving staff lack training had to ask for dishes to be cleared to have space for coffee. Could not pour Champagne without killing the bubble! The quality of the food was excellent. Staff are very friendly but not trained. Table orders were taken on rotation round the table. But the servers had no clue who ordered what! Management need to communicate and train staff better

    A little disappointed overall. My husband booked the Silks Restaurant, we couldn't see the track from the restaurant, so had to leave our table to watch each race. The staff were not very attentive, we had to ask for bread rolls, then to place our order, then for water. The main meal was okay, the dessert was good. The dinning room was poor.

    Lovely atmosphere for the shows, we saw the circus, but the drinks are on the expensive side and the choices are not that great! It would be good to have more variety. Overall a great day out though!

    We visited Circus Zyair here... It was a great show with acrobats, trapeze artists, contortionist and bike jumping, swirling stunts. The lighting was fantastic and really helped to build the atmosphere. The show lasted just over an hour with an interval in the middle. It was a relaxed and sold out fun performance. I brought my 11 year old who really liked the extreme biking finale. We would definitely come again!

    Lovely scenic racecourse with friendly staff and clean facilities. Not very big but on-site car parking and easy access only a about a mile from the city centre. Had a good day out here worth a visit.

    Ladies day was marvellous laugh 😃 with my friend. She's never been to races before, it was my second time. She bet for the first time in her life, she got the favourite without knowing and she won. The main thing for us it was the set up, the horses 🐎 were so beautiful, the races were so good ti see the performances of the horses and jockeys 🏇 coming together. Our ticket included a drink of our choice from the bar and a hot pie-we both had the chicken, gammon and leeks-very tasty. Overall was a brilliant day out and we always going to remember our laughs, the friendly staff 😀. Fab day at the races 🏁

    We went to the carboot was OK. Some good bargains. Just the toilets omg. If people use there toilets like that at home god help them it's disgusting. Also sellers don't dump your broken electrical goods on.stall then sell them.as working

    If you like watching people who have more money than you bet on horses then you'll love Brighton racecourse. Alternatively, like me, you could be one of the many who wear silly hats and slowly sip champagne while sliding gingerly into your overdraft. All while the horses get on with the business of real life, which requires stamina and effort.

    If you like horse racing then this is a good place to visit. This is a unique track very undulating, the grandstand is old but has a good atmosphere inside there are bars and restaurant which are a good standard

  • 3/5 Catherine W. 1 year ago on Google
    Used the park and ride which was well organised but bus crashed on the way our of the car park

  • 5/5 Larry M. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the lovliest racecourse. The view is exceptional - the sea on the horizon. And the racing is great - you can see the horses and racing really close up. The staff are such lovely people and food and drink is on tap and served with a smile. I'm happy to travel from London for a great day at Brighton races.

    Lovely place to visit but not many toilets unless you are using one of the outlet building. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. There is too large cark parks as I could see but may be more around track. It's a good place to hang out and spend lots off money there.

    I go to the Racecourse to take the dogs 🐕 for a wonderful walk around a really nice area where they can run off the lead without worry. Always see other people walking the dogs as the area is a popular but quiet area enjoyed by all that go. Obviously there is also the RACES which are very popular with all amenities. A great day out for everyone.

    Great afternoon out, good racing and friendly atmosphere. Only complaint is that we didn't have enough winners! Felt it was very good value, and food and drink wasn't over priced.

    I had my covid booster done here, it was well sign posted and very quick. There is free car parking albeit in the grassy area which is getting a little muddy at present.

  • 5/5 Laura R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Peter B. 2 years ago on Google
    Boot sale much better than the marina, £2.50 entrance before 10.30 only 80p after. Selling £10 as much space as you need 5 stars

  • 4/5 frank m. 2 years ago on Google
    Great view of the track if you sit in the seats at the back of the grandstand. Limited food options but all needs catered for. Shame the courtesy bus no longer runs as the walk from the train station is all uphill.
