As the nights draw in and autumn leaves carpet the ground, Southwell Racecourse invites you to enjoy our exclusive Thursday evening flat racing fixtures throughout October. This is a fantastic chance to combine the excitement of live racing with a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that only Southwell can offer. Whether you’re a seasoned racegoer or new to the sport, our Thursday evenings promise something special.
Thursday evenings at Southwell provide an intimate racing experience. With a compact track and close viewing areas, you’ll feel the energy as horses thunder past, finishing races with heart-pounding excitement. The autumn setting adds a unique charm — crisp air, glowing floodlights, and the buzz of anticipation as each race unfolds. It’s a perfect midweek escape to enjoy sport and socialising together.
Looking for a way to catch up with friends or bring the family out for a memorable evening? Southwell’s October Thursday fixtures offer something for everyone. When the temperature drops, cosy indoor spaces provide a warm retreat without missing any of the live racing action.
