Festive Family Raceday at Hereford
Sunday 27th December 2026
Get ready for a breath of fresh air this December
Between Christmas and New Year, there’s only so much wrapping paper and Quality Street you can look at. Join us on Sunday 27th December 2026 for Festive Family Raceday, a proper reason to get the whole family (and any lingering guests!) out of the house, away from the leftover trimmings, for a few hours of fresh air and fun at Hereford Racecourse.
By the 27th, the sofa has had its moment and the diary is wonderfully empty. Festive Family Raceday gives you a ready-made plan for the afternoon, and it’s right on your doorstep. There’s no long journey, no complicated logistics, and no need to be a racing expert. Just wrap up warm, bring the family (and those lingering guests) and let us take care of the entertainment.
This is a brand new fixture, and it’s all about bringing Hereford together. Local schools are being invited to get involved by designing the back of the race card, with the winning class earning free tickets to join us on the day. It’s a chance for neighbours, friends and three generations of a family to share something new, close to home, and start a Twixmas tradition of your own.
With six to eight jump races on the card, there’s something to cheer about from start to finish. Children can get close to the action by the parade ring, pick a favourite and hear the hooves thunder past, while seasoned racegoers can enjoy a proper afternoon of National Hunt racing. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, every race brings its own drama.
We have special events throughout December with longer opening hours
