Home to Summer Jump horseracing, dubbed the Glastonbury of Racing, Cartmel Racecourse is a fabulous place to spend a day out in the South Lakes. Just a few miles from Lake Windermere in the beautiful, historic village of Cartmel, you can enjoy all the thrills of jump racing with added delights of the funfair, music events and dedicated family fun days! On site you can sample from some of our range of delicious local food and drink vendors, or browse local stall holders. If you would rather a DIY approach, you are more than welcome to bring your garden to us, with all picnics including alcohol and BBQs welcome on all race days. Why not explore the local surroundings, too - nicknamed the Michelin Village, home to excellent eateries from coffee shops to fine dining restaurants, with a trip to the beautiful Priory and local artisanal shops to top the day off.
