FAQs

About Hereford Racecourse

Hereford Racecourse is a National Hunt track located on the northern edge of the cathedral city of Hereford in Herefordshire, England. The course stages jumps racing through the autumn, winter and spring, attracting local fans and trainers from across the Welsh borders and South West. Its compact layout and easy access from the city centre make it a convenient venue for racegoers looking for an approachable, friendly experience.

Historically, Hereford has been part of the British jumps scene for many decades, with periods of closure and revival reflecting wider changes in the racing industry. The modern programme focuses on competitive handicaps and novice events such as the Celebrating Venetia Williams Novices Hurdle and the 2009 Grand National Winner Mon Mome Novices Hurdle, which pay tribute to prominent local connections and famous horses. Fixtures like the Teeton Mill Handicap Chase and the Hereford Racing Club Handicap Hurdle help to develop up-and-coming chasers and hurdlers during the core National Hunt season.

Beyond the racing itself, Hereford Racecourse puts strong emphasis on themed days and community events, including popular occasions like Christmas Jumper Raceday and Ladies Evening that combine sport with music, entertainment and family-friendly activities. The course’s intimate grandstands and viewing areas mean you can get close to the action, from the parade ring to the finishing line, creating an engaging atmosphere whether you are following a big handicap or simply enjoying a midweek jumps card.
