To launch our new DH Society event programme, Downe House have partnered with Europe’s leading racehorse syndication company, Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, to host a unique, exclusive event for Downe House.

This event includes a morning spent at Highclere Stud, located in the heart of the Hampshire Downs, and the opportunity to see a selection of mares, foals and yearlings. Established over a century ago, the stud has a rich history of producing high class bloodstock, including their latest superstar, World Champion Miler Palace Pier.

The afternoon will be spent at Newbury Racecourse, enjoying the Starlight Charity Raceday from the comfort of the Highclere Box, situated just above the winning post with a fantastic view of the track. Nothing beats a day at the races, watching the majestic thoroughbreds in full flight, while enjoying some fantastic hospitality.

• Visit to Highclere Stud with a tour and show of their horses by the Stud Manager
• Morning tea/coffee/pastries at Highclere Stud
