Book Tickets Hospitality

London's Night At The Races

 

Affectionately known as London's Night At The Races, Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Evening is the evening meeting that you don't want to miss. Taking it's place at the top of the pile as Britain's richest evening meeting, it promises to deliver another memorable year this year. 

 

Right in heart of spring and with summer in sight, this evening has seen many a champion set foot out on the hallowed turf, and many a celebration off it!

 

Join us for a fantastic evening of quality racing including two Group 3 races - The Star Sports Henry II Stakes and The Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Stakes. 

 

It's not just the racing to look forwards to, we are delighted Stringin It will be joining us for an hour of live music once racing wraps up!

With two Group 3 races, The Brigadier Gerard Stakes and The Henry II Stakes, the atmosphere comes alive at Britain's richest evening meeting. Horses that win these race often go on to win at some of the biggest fixtures throughout the summer. In 2022 Bay Bridge won the Brigadier Gerard Stakes before going on to win the Champion Stakes, one of the most prestigious races anywhere in the world, at Ascot later that year. Both races are proven hunting grounds for Champions and this year looks to be no different.

Party on into the night...

 

Whilst you don't want to miss any of the racing on track, we also have some great entertainment off it! Immediately after the last race, head into the main Grandstand where you can see Sandown Park favourites, Stringin' It perform live. They will use their unique style to recreate some of your favourite classics so you can dance the remainder of the night away. Approximate set start time - 8.50pm.  

 

We will also have two party photobooths on site in the Surrey Hall so grab your friends and colleagues and take some of those memorable prop wedding photos we all love taking!
