Get into the festive spirit with our Christmas Jumper Raceday this December at Newcastle Racecourse! Taking place on a Saturday afternoon, it’s the perfect way to enjoy some live sport while embracing the holiday season. Wrap up warm, pull on your favourite festive jumper, and join us for an afternoon of jump racing that’s packed with atmosphere and excitement.
Jump racing is at the heart of this day, with thrilling contests unfolding over fences and hurdles. December racing always delivers plenty of drama as horses and jockeys tackle the winter conditions with skill and determination. Whether you’re trackside cheering or enjoying the view from the stands, every race offers a memorable moment to savour.
One of the highlights of the day is our Best Dressed Christmas Jumper competition! From bright and bold to quirky and creative, this is your chance to showcase your festive style and maybe even win a prize. Whether you’re going all-out with tinsel and sparkle or keeping it classic with a cosy knit, it’s the perfect excuse to show some seasonal flair at the races.
Christmas Jumper Raceday is a brilliant way to celebrate the season with friends, family, or colleagues. A Friday afternoon at the races provides the perfect opportunity to escape the everyday, soak up the holiday atmosphere, and enjoy live sport in a sociable setting. With great food, drink, and entertainment all around, this festive fixture is a standout on the December calendar.
