The thrill of The Hill

The Betfred Derby Festival is one of the world’s only sporting events where you can watch the action for FREE!

The fun runs all day with food & drink, big screens, a market and funfair. Track-side viewing, the Tote, book makers and racecards are all easily accessible too. Check out our new map for The Hill and find the right spot for you!
