About This Event

Hexham Racecourse sits 800 feet above sea level on Yarridge Heights, offering one of the most spectacular settings of any racecourse in England. The Charity Raceday combines a full card of National Hunt jump racing with fundraising for local causes — a great day out that combines sporting entertainment with community spirit. The course is left-handed with notable undulations and a steep climb to the finish that makes for exciting racing. The atmosphere at Hexham is distinctly local and unpretentious — a far cry from the corporate feel of larger courses.
