Boasting 12 top quality races over two days, it’s clear to see why the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival is the jewel in Kempton Park’s crown.

26 December 2023
King George VI Chase Day
Ladbrokes King George VI Chase Day stages some of the most important races in the Jump calendar, including the Grade 1 Boxing Day showpiece, the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase, as well as the Christmas Hurdle and Kauto Star Chase.

In 2022 Bravemansgame justified the pre-race confidence of trainer Paul Nicholls to hand the 13-times champion Jumps trainer a record-extending 13th victory in Kempton Park’s Boxing Day highlight – the Grade One Ladbrokes King George VI Chase.

If you're a fan of live sporting action, this is the day for you!

27 December 2023
Desert Orchid Chase Day

Day two of the Festival is Ladbrokes Desert Orchid Chase Day. Named after the charismatic grey who made Kempton Park his own, the day is packed full of quality racing including the Mare’s Handicap Hurdle Race, the Wayward Lad Novices’ Steeple Chase and, of course, The Desert Orchid Chase.

The 27th December is perfect for those wanting to come Christmas racing without the worry of the big Boxing Day crowds. To round the festival off, we're planning an epic after-party. We'll be announcing more details shortly!
