The opening meeting of the 2026/27 Jump Season! Jump Racing is back and the Original Extreme Sport returns. Once again we will be supporting Spinal Research for their Northern Charity Raceday!
Spinal Research are back for their 36th Northern Raceday for our Opening Meeting of the 2026/27 Jump season on Wednesday 14th October 2026.
The Spinal Research Charity race day is one of the most long standing fundraising events we hold at Wetherby Racecourse, where supporters come together for an amazing day, enjoying the excitement of live racing, alongside exceptional hospitality. Guests are welcomed with a champagne reception, before sitting down to a three-course meal, followed by an afternoon filled with auctions, raffles, and entertainment.
Every 2 hours, someone in the UK will become paralysed. Globally, it is estimated that 15.4 million people are living with paralysis. It can happen to anyone at any time, changing lives instantly. When the spinal cord is injured it affects far more than the ability to walk. Paralysis impacts movement, sensation, continence, breathing, and much more. At Spinal Research, our vision is to create a world where paralysis can be cured, no matter when the injury occurred.
The Spinal Research Hospitality Marquee is located in the heart of the action, amidst the hub of the Paddock , adjacent to the Parade Ring & Winner’s Enclosure.
The marquee is fully heated and has private tote betting, Racecourse TV and cash bar facilities. The main betting ring is located less than 100 metres away, as is the covered Bramham Grandstand, offering an elevated view of the racing action.
The Marquee will be hosted by volunteers for Spinal Research, and is open to all to book. Private tables of 10/12 are available (or grouped tables for larger parties); smaller parties may be seated on our shared ‘Connections Tables’.
The Spinal Research Package is priced at £TBC per person and includes:
- Racecourse Paddock Admission plus exclusive access to the Spinal Research Hospitality Marquee
