Raceday at Newton Abbot Racecourse

Join us for an unforgettable day at the races and experience the excitement of live jump racing in the heart of Devon. Feel the energy build by the finishing line, place your bets, and cheer on the runners as they thunder towards victory — all while enjoying time with family, friends or colleagues.

Whether you're discovering racing for the first time or returning as a regular visitor, there's something for everyone. Choose between Course or Paddock admission, or upgrade your day with hospitality. From private boxes to stylish restaurants with panoramic views, you can enjoy great food, comfort, and a front-row seat to the action.

Special Feature: Meet an Equine Hero

Meet Kauto the King, a true favourite of the track. During his racing career, he thrilled crowds at Newton Abbot with a series of memorable wins, becoming a much-loved star of the course.

Now enjoying life after racing as part of the Retraining of Racehorses programme, Kauto returns as our special guest. Visitors will have the chance to meet him up close, learn more about his story, and experience the calm, gentle nature of this remarkable horse.
