December brings a unique charm to the racecourse, where the festive spirit is in the air and every race feels a little more special. Join us at Southwell Racecourse for an exciting Thursday afternoon of flat racing, wrapped up warm and ready for some winter thrills.
There’s nothing like watching the horses sprint to the finish line during the winter months. Whether you prefer the buzz of the crowd outside or the cozy comfort of our heated indoor areas with live screens, you can enjoy every moment of the action.
With so many things competing for your time this December, a day at the races offers a relaxed and affordable option for all ages. Enjoy great food and drink, friendly atmosphere, and fast-paced racing, all set against the backdrop of the crisp winter season.
Make the most of our early bird prices by booking tickets online before the event. Group bookings of 10 or more receive additional discounts — ideal if you’re organising a festive outing. For those looking to add a touch of luxury, our hospitality packages are available through our Sales team or via Seat Unique.
