Hexham Racecourse Christmas Raceday

About This Event

Hexham Racecourse stages a jumps (National Hunt) raceday on Wednesday 9 December 2026, the course's festive fixture and the final meeting before it closes for a short winter break. Set high on the moors above the town, Hexham is one of the North East's most scenic racecourses and a popular day out for racing fans and newcomers alike. The Christmas raceday combines an afternoon of jump racing over the course's testing undulating track with a festive atmosphere, including a Christmas jumper competition for racegoers getting into the seasonal spirit. The fixture is confirmed on the official British Horseracing Authority 2026 fixture list. Gates typically open a couple of hours before the first race in the early afternoon. Tickets and hospitality packages are available in advance through the racecourse website, with advance booking usually cheaper than paying on the day.
