Sunrise & Sunset at Britain’s Most Scenic Racecourse 🌅❄️

Our 2024 recap.

We are looking forward to another positive year in 2025 with unchanged admission prices! 🏇

Our final race meeting of the year last week attracted a crowd of over 1000.

Not bad for a cold Wednesday Afternoon at Hexham! 🤣

We are starting to get in the Christmas spirit here at Hexham!🎄

Olwyn and Michael have done a fantastic job of decorating the trees.

All set for our Christmas Party Nights and Christmas Raceday on Wednesday 11th December.

Yesterday was a great day of Point to Pointing! 🏇

80 entries for the Border point-to-point @hexhamraces.bsky.social on Sunday - first of provisional six races at 12.30. Delighted to be back!

Our Point to Point fences are looking great!

Michael Morris does a fantastic job of preparing the P2P track for racing.

We are looking forward to hosting the Border Point to Point on Sunday 1st December!

We are so disappointed to have an empty Racecourse this afternoon. However, as always, horse and jockey safety is a priority.

We hope the early call helped everyone who was planning to attend.

Now to look forward to our Christmas Raceday on Wednesday 11th December.

Sadly given a long night of subzero temperatures @HexhamRaces (-1c since 6pm last night till now 8am/wind chill -6c) we are frozen in places and given that temperatures are not set to rise fast enough racing has had to be ABANDONED

Unfortunately, racing has been abandoned.

Please share.

Latest from @HexhamRaces : GOOD.
-2c overnight & some small areas of frost presently (bare or repaired ground). With temps expected to drop again this evening we will have an INSPECTION at 8am Weds morning to determine prospects of racing.
