Winter Racing at it's Best!

 

Blow away the January cobwebs and enjoy an afternoon of thrilling jump racing in the heart of the Somerset countryside. With competitive action on the track and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere off it, it’s the perfect way to brighten up your week.

 

This won’t be just any raceday, we’re offering a special behind-the-scenes experience. Guests will have the chance to tour the weighing room and the course, and hear insights directly from the Clerk of the Course, Tom Ryall, for a rare look at how a raceday really works.

 

A sign-up form for the tour will be added shortly. Please note that you must hold a General Admission ticket to take part in the tour.

 

Whether you're a racing fan or simply looking for a different kind of day out, Wincanton’s winter fixtures deliver excitement, fresh air, and great value.

 

Join us on Thursday 29 January 2026 and make it a date to remember.
