Epsom racecourse has spent £150,000 on extra security and won an injunction in the high court aimed at deterring Animal Rising protesters
Epsom, however, is a more difficult area to secure as there is a public right of access to much of the downland area where the racecourse is situated and thousands of spectators watch for free each year from the Hill enclosure in the middle of the track.
Members of Animal Rising have said they are prepared to defy the injunction, however, while the group is also inviting its supporters to take part in what it describes as “an alternative festival of family friendly fun, food and games” on a site outside the main entrance to the racecourse.
