If you’re looking for excitement, a visit to Chepstow Racecourse, home of Wales' most prestigious race meeting - the Coral Welsh Grand National - is a must. The £150,000 Coral Welsh Grand National is the biggest race day of the year in Wales, scheduled to take place the day after Boxing Day each year. With 32 meetings annually, both flat and jump racing, there’s a fixture to suit all horseracing needs and interests. Chepstow Racecourse also hosts live music race nights with big name bands and family days featuring free children’s entertainment in the summer.
Other equestrian events including Showing, Mounted Games and Carriage Driving take place at the nearby David Broome Event Centre, situated at the family home of the famous show jumping Olympic medallist and world champion show jumper, David Broome.
Monmouthshire has four leisure centres at Abergavenny, Caldicot, Chepstow and Monmouth, which offer a wide range of leisure facilities with swimming pools, gyms, multi-purpose sports halls and great cafes.
