Welcome to Higham RacesWith two annual Point-To-Point fixtures, Higham Races makes a fabulously fun and social countryside day out. Tradestands and food a plenty, with fairground attractions for the whole family at Easter. Not forgetting the pony racing and more recently the charity 'Side Saddle Dash', all adding to the equestrian entertainment. For those that like a flutter Higham Races has a number of traditional bookies on-site.
Each year the Higham Races committee nominates an annual charity to support for both fixtures. The 2022/2023 season saw us raise £2,500 for the Matt Hampson Foundation who support young people seriously injured through sport. The Course Higham features a flat oval course comprising eight fences jumped twice, and the home straight jumped three times providing many exciting finishes. It suits those horses that like to front run. The gravelly soil means the course can run early on in the year when other venues are waterlogged – the ground is rarely softer than Good. The course benefits from an irrigation facility close by so can easily be watered for meetings later in the season. |
2024 Season
Join us at Higham on Sunday 11th February for the Waveney Harriers Meet and Good Friday 29th March for the Essex & Suffolk Meet.
Thanks to your superb generosity, we've raised over £16,500 to date for our nominated charities: EAAA and Essex & Herts Air Ambulance; Ukraine Appeal; Injured Jockeys Fund, Racing Welfare and the Matt Hampson Foundation. |
