Brighton Racecourse is the place to be this August for the three-day Festival of Racing. Day One of the Festival features the prestigious Brighton Mile Challenge race - one of our feature races of the Brighton calendar!
If you are looking for what to do in Brighton, the Festival is the perfect day out where kids go free to the racecourse. With so many fun seaside-themed stalls and a vibrant entertainment, Brighton Racecourse is the perfect place to visit this August!
This Brighton Festival guarantees fun entertainment, including...
🏖️ Seaside funfair stalls
🦆 Hook a Duck
🥥 Coconut shy game
⭕ Hoopla traditional game
📸 Seaside photo board
🏖️ Oversized deckchairs
Get ready to listen to the roaming music of The Top Bananas - the only band in the UK to perform on stilts!
Formed in Brighton, they’ve been captivating audiences worldwide with their unique brand of entertainment for over 15 years. While they might look like a jazz band on stilts, their performances feature a lively mix of classic pop hits - both old and new.
At the 2025 Festival of Racing, for the first hour of gates opening on each day, we are offering:
🍺 50% off draught drinks - including soft drinks, lager, cider, bitter and Guinness. Meaning your first pint could be just 3.25!
🍹 10 pounds off any bottle of house wine, Prosecco, Champagne or jug of Pimms!
Coaches will be run between Brighton train station and the racecourse during all three days of the Festival.
They will start from 12pm at the station and run every 30 minutes until 6pm.
We know the British weather can be unpredictable, so we’re delighted to introduce our Wet Weather Guarantee.
What does this mean? During the duration of the Festival of Racing, if it rains from when gates open to the end of the last race, you will be invited back to an alternative raceday for FREE – to enjoy the best of British racing under, hopefully, sunnier skies!
