The Old Stables derives its name from the historic buildings that once occupied the site of the present-day racecourse. Fontwell Park officially opened its gates on May 21, 1924, marking the beginning of a rich racing legacy. Renowned for its picturesque charm, Fontwell Park has consistently earned the title of the Best Small Racecourse in the South East for several consecutive years.
