Jump racing will return to Kempton Park Racecourse on Sunday, October 18, as the build-up begins for the William Hill Winter Festival at Christmas.

The racecourse has a reputation for attracting various celebrities to these extravaganzas, such as television favourites Ant and Dec and sportsman Michael Owen.

After a well deserved summer break the stars of jump racing will be out in force for the event which is sponsored by William Hill.

The gates will be open at 12.20pm. This event will be followed by two events in November at the racecourse – the Graduation Chase on Monday 2nd November and the Starlight Lapland Mares' on Monday 23rd November.

Ticket prices: On-the-day adult admission for all three events is £16; accompanied under 16s free.
