Wednesday 4 August 2027: Festival Opener

Three days, one hill (and a lot of hooves): our Festival of Racing kicks off on Wednesday 4 August. It's the big week of our summer and the best of horse racing in August, Brighton style, with half the town up on the Downs.

Here we go

Day One brings some of the standout racing of our year. The runners sweep round and drop downhill to the finish, and the noise on the rail could lift the roof off, if we had one. Head to the parade ring first. You'll be close enough to hear the horses snort as they walk round.

Festival fun and booking

The 2027 line-up is coming soon. Past Festivals have had a roaming stilt band, pop-up shops and a living statue who kept everyone guessing. [CONFIRM 2027 ENTERTAINMENT] It's a top shout for the summer holidays, and [CONFIRM 2027 KIDS GO FREE OFFER].

Book online before the day for the best prices. Groups of 10 or more can get [CONFIRM 2027 GROUP DISCOUNT]. [CONFIRM 2027 ON-SALE DATE AND PRICE]
