Haydock Park is set to host one of the highlights of the summer social calendar next month as Betway Rose of Lancaster Stakes – Ladies Day returns on Saturday 8th August, bringing together stunning fashion, live entertainment, top-class racing and an electric atmosphere. 

The much-loved event is part of a two-day fixture, with Haydock Park returning to racing on Friday 7th August following a series of cancellations while essential repair work was carried out on the track.  

The Friday fixture offers an evening of racing followed by a live performance from legendary DJ Pete Tong. One of the world's most influential DJs and broadcasters, Pete Tong has spent more than four decades at the forefront of dance music and remains renowned for delivering unforgettable live performances. 

Ladies Day has become one of the standout occasions of Haydock Park's summer season, attracting racegoers looking to enjoy a memorable day out both on and off the track.  

This year's Style Awards once again promises fantastic prizes, with the winner receiving a £1,000 holiday voucher alongside tickets to the 2027 Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree. To enter, racegoers simply need to visit one of the two Style Pods, located at the racecourse entrances, to have their photograph taken. A judging panel, including Gemma Cutting from The Guide, will select three finalists before crowning the overall winner.

Alongside the fashion, racegoers can enjoy an afternoon of high-quality Flat racing on Saturday 8th August, headlined by the £95,000 Group Three Betway Rose of Lancaster Stakes over a mile and a quarter. The prestigious contest has been won by future Group One stars including Nayef, Jukebox Jury and Addeybb, while trainer Owen Burrows has dominated the race in recent years with three victories from the last four renewals.

The celebrations continue after the final race, with Kayla Lou taking to the Be Friendly Stage to round off Ladies Day in style. Having impressed as part of the Après Music line-up at this year's Randox Grand National Festival, she will bring her signature high-energy DJ set, accompanied by a live saxophonist, for the ultimate summer after party. 

Simon Tonge, General Manager of Haydock Park Racecourse, said: "There's always a fantastic atmosphere on Ladies Day and we're looking forward to welcoming thousands of racegoers for what promises to be another memorable occasion. 

"The combination of great racing, fabulous fashion, live music and a brilliant social atmosphere make it one of the highlights of our year. Our Style Awards continue to grow in popularity and we’re looking forward to seeing that continue this year. 

"With Pete Tong opening the weekend on Friday evening before Kayla Lou closes out Ladies Day on Saturday, we're looking forward to two fantastic days of entertainment both on and off the racecourse."
