Kickstart your weekend in style with an exciting afternoon of live horse racing at Bath Racecourse on Friday 22nd May. Our Afternoon Racing fixture is the perfect way to enjoy a spring day out in Somerset, combining the thrill of competitive flat racing with beautiful countryside views and a welcoming social atmosphere.
Located just minutes from Bath city centre, the racecourse is the ideal spot to escape the office early or make the most of a day off. With gates opening around lunchtime, you’ll have plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere, grab a drink, and get ready for an action-packed card of flat races.
Whether you’re a seasoned racing fan or brand new to the sport, Bath Racecourse offers a relaxed and friendly setting for everyone. Between races, you can enjoy refreshments from our bars and food stalls, or even upgrade to a hospitality package for a seated dining experience with fantastic views of the track.
If you’re looking for things to do in Bath on a Friday afternoon or a fun start to the weekend, this fixture is the perfect choice. Bring colleagues for an end-of-week treat, gather friends for a relaxed day out, or simply enjoy the unique buzz of live racing.
