It is very easy to get to Plumpton Racecourse whether you travel by rail, road, air or on foot, with the journey taking you into the heart of the beautiful Sussex South Downs countryside.

Plumpton Racecourse is ideally located for customers using the train, as Plumpton Station adjoins the Racecourse grounds, and our entrances are only a short three minute walk from the platforms.  Plumpton is served by a regular train service between London Victoria and Eastbourne/Hastings.

On weekend and Bank Holiday Fixtures, a direct minibus service from Brighton to Plumpton Racecourse is run by Chariots Chauffeurs.

The minibus leaves Brighton train station 90 minutes before the first race, returning 30 minutes after the last race.  A return ticket is £5.

The pick up point for Chariots Chauffeurs at Brighton Station is behind the Station at the designated Pick Up point.
The pick up point for Chariots Chauffeurs at Plumpton Racecourse is car park behind the marquee in the car park.

To avoid disappointment you must book in advance, no minibus tickets can be booked on the day
