There's Something For Everyone
At Paxford Races, we offer a thrilling day of point-to-point racing set against the stunning backdrop of the Cotswold countryside. Watch point-to-point jockeys compete for the prizes on athletic thoroughbreds taking part in a series of fast-paced races. With a full day’s schedule of races, there’s no shortage of action and if you’re keen to have a flutter, you’ll be urging your horse to come home first.

Indulge in a wide range of delicious food and drink options throughout the day. From hearty burgers and fresh local produce to sweet treats and artisan coffee, our food stalls cater to every taste. You can enjoy a refreshing pint or a glass of bubbly while cheering on your favourite horses in the lively bar.

A Fence
Eight fences make up one circuit each jumped at least twice in any race. That guarantees at least one mention in commentary per race, in addition to branding of the jump and surrounds.
If you have a business that needs to shout its presence to a crowd, then this is a great value device to do so. From just £400, your sponsorship will include naming rights to the fence and a page in the official racecard to make your case to the
your requirements further.
