Huntingdon Racecourse offers exciting competitive racing at all of the meetings. During the course of a season there is something for everyone: Corporate friendly weekday fixtures plus Bank Holiday meetings and weekend packages for families, groups and couples. On Non-Racedays the extensive facilities can be used for Conferencing, Exhibitions, Company Activity days, Parties and Weddings.

The main enclosure includes access to the main Grandstand which includes Bevan's Bar which has fantastic views of the Racecourse and parade ring, making a great base for the day.We also have plenty of other bars, food outlets and restaurant.

The Picnic Car Park is open on all Bank Holidays, Weekend and Evening fixtures at Huntingdon Racecourse. In the Picnic Car Park, you can drive your car right up to the running rails so you can be right on top of the action. Please feel free to bring your own Picnic or B-B-Q and base yourselves from your car, or alternatively, food and drink can be obtained from the building located within the Picnic Car Park Enclosure. The Picnic Car Park is also the location of the children's entertainment, which is often a Mini Fairground. All the rides on the Fairground are FREE of charge to all Racegoers. Please note that the Picnic Car Park is closed on all Midweek Afternoon Fixtures.

It is a common misconception that betting is an essential part of going racing. It is not, and racing enthusiasts can have a highly enjoyable day - revelling in the atmosphere and spectacle - without betting at all. But most racegoers like at least to dabble in betting, and before you bet you will want to decide what to bet on. A baffling amount of information in newspapers and form summaries in the racecard is available to illuminate - or confuse! - as you make your choice, but do not be shy of going back to the most basic starting point of all: looking at the horse.
