Liven up your weekend with live sport, entertainment, and a reason to celebrate! Join us for the Season Opener at Brighton – combining sporting action, an entertaining atmosphere, and a charming backdrop by Brighton seaside for a unique day out with friends and family.
Love a bit of Saturday sporting action? Brighton races have got you covered. This afternoon of flat racing promises several exciting races to enjoy, whether you prefer to be trackside, or watching on from hospitality. Make more of your April with our horse racing event in East Sussex.
A weekend full of potential! Brighton Racecourse is thrilled to welcome racegoers back for 2025 to enjoy some live sports, and generally unwind after a jam packed week. A day at the races means more than just fast paced sporting fun. It means tasty food and drink, a chance to have fun with fashion if you want (or opt for a more relaxed look), and good times with your friends and family. If you’re looking to up the ante and make more of your Spring weekend, then this could be the race day for you.
Planning a group outing? Save big with online booking. As well as paying less because you booked online ahead of the day, if you book for six or more people at once, you can unlock even more savings. Whether you're celebrating with your family or just gathering everyone together, enjoy fantastic savings for your party, making it a weekend to remember.
Join us for Spring Saturday Racing and make the most out of your weekend. Enjoy the races, lap up the atmosphere, and make memories in the heart of Brighton.
