Friday nights in December are made for celebrations, and where better to gather than Newcastle Racecourse? Step into the glow of the floodlights and enjoy an evening of all-weather racing, great company, and seasonal cheer. The perfect way to kick off your weekend, this festive fixture combines top-class sport with the sparkle of December nights.
Swap a quiet Friday evening for something far more exciting. Under the floodlights, the atmosphere is electric — with thoroughbreds charging down the straight and the crowd roaring them home. Whether you’re heading out with colleagues for a seasonal get-together, planning a night out with friends, or simply looking for a unique festive experience, this is a Friday evening to remember.
The December air may be crisp, but the action on track brings the heat. Each race is packed with drama and anticipation, set against the special atmosphere only night racing can deliver. With a lively crowd, festive drinks, and horses powering to the finish line, every moment feels like a celebration. This is racing with a seasonal twist — a chance to enjoy sport, entertainment, and festive spirit all in one place.
