BOXING DAY RACING STARTS IN

Friday 26 December 2025

The Rand Farm Park Boxing Day Racing

 

As far as Christmas traditions go, Boxing Day at Market Rasen Racecourse has become a ritual for families across Lincolnshire & beyond to escape the house after Christmas Day to come together and enjoy a thrilling festive day out.  

 

Please note that Altior's restaurant and Francky's Bistro have very limited availability remaining. Please contact shannen.williamson@thejockeyclub.co.uk or call 01673 843434. 

 

TRAVEL & ARRIVAL INFORMATION

 

Following feedback and consultation with local authorities, our Boxing Day at the Races will have enhanced traffic management in place this year. This will not only see increased signage and the number of marshals but new routes of approach to the racecourse, to help prevent queuing and congestion in Market Rasen town centre. We would ask all racegoers to please follow the yellow event signage to help us deliver the best possible journey for everyone. Our car park attendants will be here to help you get in and out as quickly as possible so please follow their directions when parking.
