Flat Jumps 🏆 Premier Raceday EVE evening LIT floodlit

From the BHA 2027 Fixture List. Dates can change – check with the racecourse before you travel.

Good to know before you go

  • Flat or jumps? Flat racing runs mainly from spring to autumn, with summer evening meetings; jumps (National Hunt) racing is at its best from October to April. All-weather tracks race all year round, often under floodlights.
  • Premier Racedays are the season’s biggest days – expect bigger crowds, dearer tickets and places to stay booking up months ahead.
  • Taking the children? Most courses let under-18s in free with an adult, and many run family fun days – but festival and music nights can have different rules, so check before you book.
  • Fixtures can change. Dates are from the British Horseracing Authority’s 2027 fixture list; racing can be moved or called off in bad weather, so check the racecourse website before you travel.
