As the leaves turn and the Jumps season returns, Wincanton Racecourse is thrilled to open its gates for another exciting season of racing, community spirit, and new experiences.
We kick things off with our much-anticipated Horatio’s Garden Season Opener, a true family day out, packed with free children’s entertainment, charity initiatives, and thrilling racing action.
This season opener is more than just a race day. It’s a celebration of inclusion and community. We’re proud to be working in partnership with Autism in Racing, helping to create a more accessible and welcoming environment for all racegoers. One of the day’s highlights will be a charity stable staff race, which will feature the inaugural presentation of the perpetual Keagan Kirkby Trophy, a tribute to dedication and spirit within the racing industry.
Exciting developments continue throughout the season. Wincanton is now a dog-friendly course, welcoming four-legged friends to join in the fun.
We’re also proud to announce the launch of a brand new Ladies Day, adding even more colour and style to our racing calendar.
And speaking of style, this year’s iconic Badger Beer Chase is set to dazzle – not just with top-class National Hunt racing, but also with the introduction of our Style Awards. Racegoers will be in with a chance to win incredible prizes in categories including Best Dressed and Best Dressed Couple. Prizes include a stunning Boodles necklace worth £3,000, luxury vouchers from Fairfax & Favor, Hobbs, and more.
With thrilling racing, family fun, charitable causes, and unforgettable experiences, Wincanton invites you to be part of a season like no other.
Join us. The season starts here!
