About Bath Racecourse
Perched on Lansdown Hill just outside the historic city of Bath in Somerset, Bath Racecourse is Britain’s highest-situated flat track at 780 feet above sea level. Racing here dates back to 1811, and its oval left-hand circuit features a steady climb to the home turn that tests speed and stamina in equal measure.
Bath’s calendar centres on relaxed summer evenings, Ladies Day glamour and family fun fixtures, but it still hosts quality contests such as the Lansdown Fillies’ Stakes, an early-season sprint for speed-burning mares, and the autumn-staged Beckford Stakes for stayers. Modern facilities—refurbished grandstands, panoramic viewing restaurants and free centre-course picnicking—make a day at Bath a laid-back West-Country experience.
Unique touches include views stretching across the Severn Estuary into Wales and rare “twilight” meetings that pair sunset racing with live music. Whether you attend in person or stream from home, Bath Racecourse delivers a charming mix of heritage, scenery and competitive turf action.
