Ludlow Race Club has staged jump racing on the Old Field at Bromfield since 1725 — one of the last independently owned racecourses in Britain, run by a small team who will greet you on the gate, serve you lunch and see you off at the last.
Racedays, hospitality, memberships, weddings and events — here's who to talk to. Or call the racecourse office on 01584 856 221 and we'll point you the right way.
Ludlow Racecourse
Bromfield, Ludlow

Office hours Monday–Friday. For hospitality, membership and venue hire, meet the team.
Off the A49 between Hereford and Shrewsbury, two miles north of Ludlow. Free parking on the course — helicopters by prior arrangement, honestly.
Ludlow Station is on the Manchester–Cardiff line. Our free raceday shuttle makes three runs before the first race, returning half an hour after the last.
Follow the waymarked country walk from Castle Square through Bromfield — about two miles of proper Shropshire before the roar of the ring.
Blue Badge parking by the main entrance (request ahead), accessible viewing by the winning line, lifts to hospitality floors, and a free companion ticket arranged in advance. Assistance dogs welcome with 48 hours' notice.
