Making the most of the last bit of summer? Our horse racing in August makes for an action-packed day that can be enjoyed by the whole family without breaking the bank. We can’t guarantee the weather, but we can promise a fun day out at Southwell Racecourse.
The best time of year for being able to be right at the track side and feel the thunder of the horses hooves as they speed by. Enjoy August horse racing out in the summer breeze, cheering on your favourites to the finish line.
Finding a day out that suits all of the family can be tricky. Though there’s a wide choice of events in August, not all of them cater for all ages, and offer value for money. A day at Southwell Racecourse provides a fun atmosphere, beautiful views and sports action.
If you’re planning that summer get together with friends, take advantage of our group discounts (for groups of 10 or more). Book online for the cheapest price or grab your tickets on the gate. If you’re looking to take your summer day out to the next level then speak to our team about hospitality packages.
