The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with bars, food stalls, and plenty of space to enjoy a drink and a chat between races. Whether you’re looking for a casual after-work pint or a night of laughter and cheering by the rails, you’ll find it here.
Expect a full card of exciting flat races with talented horses and jockeys battling it out for victory. Watch from the grandstand, grab a spot on the lawns, or upgrade to a hospitality package for guaranteed seating and a meal with fantastic trackside views. There’s something uniquely special about seeing the horses thunder down the home straight as the sun dips below the horizon — it’s summer sport at its very best.
