Season Finale at Bath Racecourse

About

Located conveniently between Bristol and Bath, just off the M4, Bath’s historic racecourse has a jam-packed calendar of events with 22 racing fixtures staged from April through to October each year.

It doesn’t matter if you’re new to racing or if you’re a seasoned racegoer, the atmosphere at one of Bath Racecourse’s fixtures can’t be beaten; soak it up with a cold drink in hand as your horse thunders down the home straight and join in with racegoers cheering on their horses in each thrilling race. 

The top pick of the season must be Ladies’ Day in June, when the fashion is as important as the racing; stylish outfits and ornate hats will be in abundance as ladies compete for the title of Best Dressed Lady and a huge cash prize. 

Elsewhere in the season, the track stages Lansdown Live music nights with headline acts than have previously included UB40, James Blunt and Tom Grennan who've taken to the open-air stage after racing to rock the racecourse with their much-loved music. 

As well as popular family days and live music nights on racedays, the racecourse is also open throughout the year and stages a variety of large-scale events outside of its racing calendar. 

Following a multi-million-pound redevelopment, Bath Racecourse has become one of the country’s top small racecourses, with a modern-meets-traditional feel that befits its location that offers exceptional hospitality and fine dining. There really is something for everyone to enjoy!
