About Kempton

checked October 2026

Layout and key facts

  • Where: Sunbury-on-Thames, south-west of London, with Kempton Park station beside the course — jumps on turf, Flat on Polytrack.
  • Jumps: Right-handed and flat, about 1m5f round, with fair fences and a run-in that is not long.
  • All-weather: A right-handed Polytrack with an inner and an outer loop; many fixtures are evening meetings under lights.
  • Trips: Jumps from 2m to about 3m; Flat from 5f to 2m.

Going and the seasons

  • December: The Christmas meeting is most often run on good to soft ground.
  • All-weather: The surface is read as Standard or Standard to Slow; it changes with the weather far less than turf.

Signature races and fixtures

  • Christmas meeting (26–27 December): The King George VI Chase (3m), the Christmas Hurdle (2m), the Kauto Star Novices' Chase (3m) and the Desert Orchid Chase (2m).
  • All-weather: The September Stakes (1m4f) and the Sirenia Stakes (6f) in September; the Magnolia Stakes (1m2f) in the spring.

Practical notes

  • Getting there: Kempton Park station is next to the course; parking is straightforward on most days.
  • Viewing: A flat, open course with the whole circuit in view from the grandstand.
