Lingfield Park

Lingfield Park, already boasting a new all-weather track and fully refurbished grandstand within the last five years, is now working to complete the regeneration of this famous Racecourse into a magnificent state-of-the-art racing, conference and leisure destination with facilities to match or better any in the country.

Building work is underway for the demolition of two redundant stands and their replacement with a new, integrated leisure building housing improved racing hospitality facilities, a leisure club with pool, a new 116-bedroom four-star hotel and a replacement golf club house.

The redevelopment will also include improvements to vehicular and pedestrian access, enhanced facilities for horses and handlers, a new entrance building and the removal of numerous smaller buildings around the Racecourse. As a result, a sizeable area of currently developed land will be returned back to Green Belt and will dramatically improve the remaining areas of Lingfield Park.

To reduce the risk of this exciting project, the existing, separate site of the former leisure club adjacent to the Racecourse, and on which residential planning permission had previously been obtained, will be sold. As a result, the net cost of the hotel development is estimated at approximately £27m. Financing for the development has been secured in the form of a £23m term loan.

The hotel is anticipated to open in spring 2010. A franchise agreement has been signed with Marriott to operate the hotel under the Marriott Hotel & Country Club brand.
