The Winter Million Festival makes its return to Lingfield Park Racecourse on Friday – the start of three thrilling days of racing.

The festival will showcase some of the UK’s biggest equine stars and most talented jockeys with £1m worth of prize money on offer. Less than 30 miles from London, the racecourse is a breeze to get to by train or by car with friends or family, and a fantastic way to beat the January blues.

Launched in 2022, the fixture – which is being promoted by Great British Racing – is truly a festival like no other featuring both Jump and Flat racing. Friday and Sunday will see stars of the Jump season in action while Saturday showcases exhilarating Flat racing.
