Additional Fixture - Friday 9th January

Start your weekend with a fantastic Friday afternoon of all-weather flat racing at Newcastle Racecourse. A great day out for all this January.

All Weather Acceleration

At Newcastle Racecourse, the thrill never stops. With our state-of-the-art all-weather track, racing goes ahead in every season, whatever the conditions. The sound of hooves charging across the surface brings the crowd to life, filling every moment with energy and excitement. All-weather racing means more action, more stories, and more chances to experience the passion of the sport all year round.

Get that Friday Feeling🤩

Kick start the weekend early with Friday horse racing. Gather your friends and start the party early with Friday afternoon racing.

Racing brings the action, thrills and all the excitement needed that a 9 to 5 job doesn’t offer. Swap the office for the racecourse and watch as horses battle right before your eyes. With our horse racing Fridays throughout January Fridays really were made for racing.

January Joy

January can feel flat once the festive sparkle has faded. But there’s no need to let the January blues take over- flat racing is the ideal way to lift your mood.

The sight of horses thundering down the track to the finishing line, with the buzz of the crowd as the action unfold will definitely chase away the winter gloom. It’s excitement, energy and atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else, leaving you with memories to brighten even the darkest of day in January.

Flat Racing🏇

There’s nothing quite like flat racing. Flat racing offers high speeds, and an action packed afternoon. Every flat race at Newcastle starts with a burst of energy. Horses break from the gates, finding their rhythm as the field settles into motion. The crowd leans in, following every move, every surge, every challenge. Some flat races are over in a flash, others build stride by stride—but all bring their own mix of tension, excitement, and moments you’ll remember.
