Seeing Out the Summer

Making the most of the last bit of summer? Our horse racing in August makes for an action-packed day that can be enjoyed by the whole family without breaking the bank. We can’t guarantee the weather, but we can promise a fun day out at Newcastle Racecourse.

Awesome August Sporting Events

The best time of year for being able to be right at the trackside and feel the thunder of the horse's hooves as they speed by. Enjoy August horse racing out in the summer breeze, cheering on your favourites to the finish line.

50% Drinks Offer!🍻

For the first hour of gates opening, we're offering up to 50% off: including soft drinks, lager, cider, bitter and Guinness and 10 pounds off any bottle of house wine, Prosecco, Champagne or jug of Pimms!

**Up to 50% off drinks terms and conditions: Offer strictly available for 1 hour after the advertised gate opening time only. Offer only available for general attendance customers including annual members and owners & trainers. Offer can be withdrawn upon the racecourse's discretion at any time. Please speak to a member of the team for further details where needed. Please drink responsibly.

August Activities For All Ages

Finding an evening out that suits all of the family can be tricky. Though there’s a wide choice of events in August, not all of them cater to all ages and offer value for money. An evening at Newcastle Racecourse provides a fun atmosphere, beautiful views, and sports action.
