Making the most of the last bit of summer? Our horse racing in August makes for an action-packed day that can be enjoyed by the whole family without breaking the bank. We can’t guarantee the weather, but we can promise a fun day out at Newcastle Racecourse.
Awesome August Sporting Events
The best time of year for being able to be right at the trackside and feel the thunder of the horse's hooves as they speed by. Enjoy August horse racing out in the summer breeze, cheering on your favorites to the finish line.
August Activities For All Ages
Finding an evening out that suits all of the family can be tricky. Though there’s a wide choice of events in August, not all of them cater to all ages and offer value for money. An evening at Newcastle Racecourse provides a fun atmosphere, beautiful views, and sports action.

Think similar to Formula 1, but for horse racing. Seven teams - regionally based. Six action-filled race weeks, with Thursday being the night of racing. A total of 42 high-stakes races across a number of UK racecourses. Each event is more than just sport — it's a show of regional pride, strategy, and skill. After Wales & The West 's big win in 2024, all eyes are on the early racing league standings.
Each team is headed-up by a captain – a well-known personality in the industry! 2024 captain's include Group-one winning trainer Jamie Osborne, TV presenter Mick Quinn and Love Island star Chris Hughes – so expect lighthearted competitiveness and banter between each team!
Newcastle is your chance to see which team comes out strong in this year's battle for the crown.
