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 2023/2024 season saw us raise £1,500 for the Rural Coffee Caravan. 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. |

Higham will hold two race meetings in 2025; Sunday 9th February and Good Friday 18th April.
Thanks to all our supportive owners whose attendance provided some exceptionally competitive racing over two race meetings in the 2024 season.
