Wednesday Afternoon - August Flat Racing 2026

The Perfect Midweek Wind-Down at Bath Racecourse
Wednesday nights don’t have to be quiet nights in. Join us at Bath Racecourse on Wednesday 26th August for an evening of thrilling live racing, fresh air, and a relaxed midweek atmosphere — the perfect way to recharge before the weekend.

Racing Meets Relaxation
As the working day ends, swap the office for open skies and the buzz of live sport. Gates open late afternoon, so you can head straight here after work, grab a drink, and be ready to catch the first race as the sun begins to set over the beautiful Somerset countryside. The action continues through the evening, with talented horses and jockeys battling it out in a series of flat races that will have you cheering at the rails.

A Great Night Out for Groups
Midweek racing is ideal for after-work socials, casual catch-ups, or an impromptu date night. With plenty of bars, tasty street food options, and space to relax with friends, it’s a brilliant way to break up the week. Whether you choose to watch from the grandstand, chill on the lawns, or upgrade to hospitality for a sit-down meal and reserved seating, there’s an option for everyone.
