Enjoy our Cider and The Legendary Wurzels

Round up your mates, finish work, and get Friday started right. Hop on your Combine Harvester, and head to Bath Racecourse for a classic West Country evening of live sport, cold ciders, and dancing.

The Wurzels are BACK! 👨‍🌾

The Wurzels have been performing at Bath Racecourse for nearly 20 years, and we're so honoured to have them join us again as the soundtrack to your ultimate summer night out. Taking to the stage once racing finishes, their performance has become a time-honoured tradition on the Wurzels Tour. If you're looking for live music in Bath, what could be better than a West Country phenomenon?

This well-loved live band, paired with our new Bath Cider lawn and live horse racing, makes for the perfect Friday night out in Somerset this year.

Exciting Live Horse Racing 🏇

This summer evening centres around a full card of exciting flat racing across our track in the Somerset countryside. With the first race starting just after 5.30pm, and running all the way through to just after 8pm, it's a fantastic way to unwind after a long week. There's something a bit special about horse racing in the July sunshine that draws in people.

Bath Cider Lawn 2026 🍻

West-Country cider drinkers will be happy we have a selection of ciders for you to drink in the July sunshine.
