I recently took my little one to Brighton races on a quiet Monday, and despite the weather, we had a very enjoyable time. The venue was pleasantly quiet, which made it perfect for a relaxed day out with my toddler. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, allowing us to enjoy the races without the usual hustle and bustle.

A special shout-out goes to Havva, a member of the staff, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Despite there being no ice cream van on site due to the weather, Havva took it upon herself to get my son an ice cream. As any parent knows, toddlers aren’t deterred by something as trivial as the weather when it comes to ice cream! Her kindness made a big difference to our day, and we truly appreciated the extra effort.

The fog that rolled in during the final race added an unexpected twist to the afternoon. It was quite fun to watch the horses break out of the mist as they approached the final furlong. It gave the race an almost cinematic quality, and it was an experience that we’ll remember fondly.

Overall, the people were great, the setting was charming, and we had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back for another visit to Brighton races. If you’re looking for a relaxed and family-friendly day out, I highly recommend it!
