WELCOMEFontwell Park is set between the picturesque towns of Chichester and Arundel. Located just off the A27, Fontwell Park has fantastic travel links and is two miles from Barnham station, a mainline stop to London Victoria and Southampton Central.

Since Northern Racing bought the track in 2002, Fontwell Park has developed into one of the most popular sporting, wedding, conference and event venues on the South Coast. This expansion in the business has been made possible by the development of the 888sport Premier Grandstand which opened in August 2010.

This state of the art facility, built at a cost of £6.5m, offers superb suites for conferences and meetings, weddings, parties, dinners, exhibitions and trade shows/fairs. The investment in the new stand takes overall spending on the facilities to almost £9m since 2003. There is also a restaurant and hotel complex on the site.

Easy access directly from the A27 will ensure delegates will not need to battle through city centre traffic and a mainline train station is just 5 minutes away.

For the event organiser who requires a venue with character and versatility, with an excellent focus on customer service, Fontwell Park is the right location to do business.
