Summer afternoons are made for being outdoors — and there’s nowhere better to spend one than at Bath Racecourse. Join us on Wednesday 15th July for an afternoon of live horse racing, delicious food and drink, and a brilliant midweek atmosphere.
This is your chance to swap the usual Wednesday night routine for something a little different. You’ll enjoy a full card of competitive flat races, with some of the region’s top horses and jockeys battling it out on the track. Whether you’re cheering from the grandstand, relaxing on the lawns with a drink, or upgrading to a hospitality package for a touch of luxury, you’ll feel part of the action from the moment the first race begins.
The racecourse offers plenty of places to grab a drink, sample tasty street food, and take in the lively summer vibe. The sound of hooves thundering past the winning post as the crowd cheers creates an electric atmosphere that has to be experienced in person.
If you’re searching for things to do in Bath on a Wednesday afternoon or looking for afternoon events in Somerset, this fixture is the ideal choice. The racecourse is just a short drive from Bath city centre and offers free parking as well as easy transport links, so you can enjoy your afternoon without any stress.
