UK Racecourse of the Year and Northern Racecourse of the Year

York Racecourse is proud to have been regularly voted both “UK Racecourse of the Year” and “Northern Racecourse of the Year” by the Racegoers Club. The 202 2026 season promises to be another cocktail of sporting drama, summer sunshine, culinary delights and luxury hospitality.

Live sport is about seeing the best, the Champions. York hosts such races all season so the top thoroughbreds along with the leading jockeys and trainers are frequent visitors. In 2025 why not come to York in the Spring for the Dante Festival? Enjoy all York Racecourse has to offer at the Summer Music Weekend on 27 June & 25 July. In August the Knavesmire plays host to the four day Ebor Festival, which will once again run from Wednesday 19 August to Saturday 22 August.

An October fixture provides a fitting finale to the York Season, with Friday 9 and Saturday 10 October allowing additional opportunity to witness the thrill of York Races.
