Cartmel Racecourse

Welcome To Cartmel Racecourse

Cartmel is a delightful Jumps course set in the beautiful scenery of the Lake District. There are 6 days of racing over the Spring and August Bank Holidays, as well as a barbecue raceday in July. It is well worth planning a holiday to coincide. There’s a great atmosphere and a traditional fun fair is just one of the added extras
