Make sure you grab our early bird offer, as there’s a 25 per cent discount for early bookings.

spring-heeled Desert Orchid with the heart of a lion and the leap of Pegasus? Or the three-times Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning hero Best Mate, the breathtaking Viking Flagship or the great grey, Politologue? These are just a handful of names that have headed to Devon’s premier jump racing meeting to unveil their supreme athleticism to a racing public who want to be a part of Devon’s greatest sporting event. Devon Day on November 25 is a great local tradition where we celebrate the loveliness that oozes from every nook and cranny of our county. Our celebrated Clydesdale race is a fundraiser for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust. Local food, drink and attractions are also to be enjoyed while our seven race card is sure to throw up a classy winner or two.
