Get Ready for an Unforgettable 2025 at Newcastle Racecourse
Experience the thrill of the races with a full year of exciting events. From family-friendly fun to glamorous Gainford Group Ladies' Day and prestigious race days such as Fighting Fifth, we have something for everyone.
Can’t Decide? Here’s Our Highlights:
- Jenningsbet Northumberland Plate Festival - Thursday 26th -28th June | The historic race previously known as the "Pitmen's Derby", formed the centrepiece of the holiday period known locally as "Race Week" for local mine workers. Today's Plate Day attracts a diverse crowd of racegoers and many ladies treat it as the North-East's version of Royal Ascot, but with a more relaxed and informal atmosphere.
- Gainford Group Ladies Day - Saturday 26th July | Established as the highlight of the social calendar in the North East, Gainford Group Ladies Day is a fantastic day to spend out with friends or family. Renowned for its glamour, you can win prizes for your outfit with the Style Awards, enjoy the high life with hospitality, or spend the evening dancing away to our live music act.
- Bet MGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle - Saturday 29th November | First established in 1969, the historic Fighting Fifth Hurdle is the first grade 1 hurdle of the national hunt season, taking place in late November/early December. Run over a distance of 2 miles and half a furlong, there are nine hurdles for participants to face, making for a thrilling and challenging race.
