Wetherby's next scheduled race fixture is currently the Opening Meeting of the Jump Season, on Wednesday 14th October 2020. We are however, still awaiting fixture confirmation and also guidance from the British Horseracing Authority as to when racing will be able to resume in front of a crowd. We are hopeful that by October, some form of public attendance, albeit limited may be possible.
Therefore we will not be selling general admission tickets for any of our October to December fixtures, until we have clear guidance on capacities. This will not be until 1st August at the earliest, and could even be later. We will update this page as and when we have any new information.
Thank you for your interest in racing with us. Stay safe and we hope to be able to welcome you all back to Wetherby soon.
