Tuesday Afternoon - April Flat Racing 2026

The flat racing season at Brighton Racecourse is returning for 2026, offering a series of afternoon events throughout the spring. If you are looking to plan ahead, there are two specific dates coming up: the Tuesday Afternoon - April Flat Racing on 28 April and the Thursday Afternoon - May Flat Racing on 7 May. These meetings take place at the course located on Freshfield Road, Brighton, BN2 9XZ, which provides views over the sea and the South Downs.

For those attending, the schedule typically involves seven races held on grass. Gates generally open between 12:10 and 12:15, with the racing action running from 14:10 until 17:43. The track is open to families, corporate groups, and friends, and the atmosphere is shaped by its position on the coast. While the ground conditions, or 'going', are confirmed closer to the time, the structure of the day remains consistent across these spring meetings.

Regarding entry, general admission is priced at £18.00, though this drops to £15.00 per person for groups of 10 or more. Children aged 17 and under are admitted free of charge when accompanied by an adult, and no prior booking is required for them. Beyond standard entry, there are several packages available. Options like 'A Day at the Races' and 'A Thirsty Day at the Races' are both priced at £26.00, with the former including a programme, a hot pie, and a drink, and the latter providing two drinks. For those seeking specific seating, 'OddsOn - Reserve' tables start at £29.00 for a minimum of four people, while 'Premier Viewing' suites are available for £39.00. If you are celebrating an occasion, a personalised message can be added to the race programme for £60.00. Bookings made directly through the website or by phone do not incur additional management fees.
