New Barn Farm operates from a rural site near Wigan in North West England, hosting point-to-point horse racing for amateur riders. The venue runs four fixtures each season between December and May, giving local trainers and owners a regular outlet for horses coming off or stepping up from flat work and hurdling programmes. Races are contested over fences on undulating countryside ground in keeping with the traditional point-to-point format.
Beyond racedays, the farm runs schooling trials that allow trainers to give young horses a first look at regulation fences in a competitive but low-pressure environment. These sessions are a useful stepping stone for both horses moving up from pony racing and pointers aiming for more formal hunter chase campaigns. Piped fences, open fields and timber are all part of the schooling layout, with distances suited to first-season pointers.
On a raceday, facilities include on-site parking, a picnic space for those preferring to bring their own refreshments, and a spectator hill giving a clear view of several fences and the finish. Trader and exhibitor pitches are set out close to the parade ring, offering space for saddlers, feed merchants, country clothing stands and local food sellers. Race sponsorship packages are also available for those wishing to back a specific race or division.
New Barn Farm is reached from Wigan via the surrounding rural lanes, with post code details and a fixture list published ahead of each season on the venue's website and social channels. Anyone interested in running a horse, taking a trade pitch, sponsoring a race, or simply attending as a spectator is encouraged to contact the team directly for upcoming dates, gate times and entry forms.
