Lingfield Park Racecourse Concerts

Well busy for a Friday weather wet to start off with,gradually improved as the say wore on.well.worth a visit.

We attended Rum and Reggae night at the racecourse for the first time. £26pp on the door children under 16 are free. Parking was also free across the road from the racecourse which was helpful. I was pleased to see it was a family event and not just another race meet with semi drunk large groups shouting around. There was some of that but as there were various areas to walk around, such as food and drink outlets, music areas, ice-cream van etc, you could quite easily take your child away from the loud profanities! The entertainment by JUST VIBES was spot on, so pleased it was blacked owned as with the food and rum vendors, when anyone else tries to put on a "Caribbean night" it is NOT the same at all. Jerk chicken (boneless option too) was one of the best tasting I've had from just one food truck (a few dotted around for choice). The Rum shack although a long wait was amazing! Topped with hand grated nutmeg! Live music after racing by a reggae roots and culture band (please tag if you know them) was good too, and also nice to see a presence from real Caribbean masqueraders in "pretty mas" costume (aka carnival costumes with feathers). Overall I would go back, maybe without children to let our hair down more and because we had to swerve a few drunken groups for their sake.

It was a Bank Holiday so traffic was heavy on the approach. We left the cab and walked the last quarter mile. Exciting atmosphere once we arrived. Crowded but well managed. Food was delicious. Drinks fairly expensive.

We came here for the vintage and antique fair. Free parking with stalls both indoors and outdoors. This event is every other month. The next event is on 23rd July. There is a small admission fee. Keep in mind there are two food areas. When we were there, live performance near the entrance. Overall, we enjoyed our day here.

Well worth a visit, lovely little race course very enjoyable. food was ok nothing special for the price. Pint of lager around £6 come in a special plastic pint cups. Entertainment was fantastic in the evening, live show.
