Summer evenings are made for getting outside — and there’s no better excuse than Summer Evening Racing at Bath Racecourse on Wednesday 1st July. Forget the usual midweek routine and swap the office for open skies, fresh air, and the buzz of live sport as the sun sets over the beautiful Somerset countryside.
Gather your friends, round up your workmates, or plan that overdue catch-up — this fixture is all about making the most of the longer nights together. 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.
Bath Racecourse is just minutes from the city centre, with free parking and easy transport links to make your evening completely hassle-free. Under-18s go free, making it a brilliant option for groups and families alike.
