Overview

Join fellow Spicers for an exhilarating day out at Kempton Rases.

Friday 27th December 2024 RACING

Day two of the Festival is Ladbrokes Desert Orchid Chase Day. Named after the charismatic grey who made Kempton Park his own, the day is packed full of quality racing including the Mare’s Handicap Hurdle Race, the Wayward Lad Novices’ Steeple Chase and, of course, The Desert Orchid Chase.

The 27th December is perfect for those wanting to come Christmas racing without the worry of the big Boxing Day crowds.

And there's no need to rush off after the last...we'll be rounding off two fantastic days with an epic after-party featuring live music from the Chip Shop Boys!

Before You Go

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Our dress code is smart casual. We hope that the weather will be kind but such is the nature of the great British weather, we cannot guarantee it will be! Therefore we suggest you dress appropriately and keep an eye on the forecasts ahead of the event.

We do have a number of indoor spaces for you to escape any rain or cold weather but these areas will become busy throughout the day so please come prepared and bear this in mind before making your way to the event.

Please note - ripped denim and football shirts are not permitted.

Dress to feel your best

At Kempton Park Racecourse we believe racing should be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And one thing is certainly true, the more relaxed and comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to have a great time. So that’s why we’ve created one very simple piece of guidance, to come “dressed to feel your best”.

We’re all unique, and no more so than in our sense of style and comfort. For some, wearing a nice sweatshirt, pair of jeans and clean trainers is what makes them feel confident and at-ease. For others, they might prefer to turn heads with a sharp suit or glamorous dress and high heels, particularly for one of our big race meetings.

But whatever your tastes, the most important thing when choosing your outfit is, of course, comfort and confidence. So wear what feels right for you and will keep you feeling your best from start to finish, whatever the weather. Here’s some other useful tips and advice for making sure your time with us is as memorable as possible.
