£9 Afternoon Racing 2026

Nottingham Racecourse is running a session of afternoon racing on Wednesday 4 November, with tickets starting from £9.00. It's a mid-week afternoon of racing at a reduced price, so if you've never been to the races, this is a low-stakes way to get a first look.

The course is over at Colwick Road, set within Colwick Country Park, and it's one of the city's best-known sports and events venues. It's got a fair bit of history behind it and is known as a birthplace for future racing stars, so you're seeing horses that are often just starting their careers. It's also the home of The Colwick Cup Day and hosts fixtures like Ladies Day and Family Fun throughout the year.

Because it's an afternoon session, it's a bit different from the big race days. You're getting the racing without the full-day commitment, and since it's mid-week, it's a good one to drop into if you're around the city on a Wednesday. The course is in Colwick Country Park, so it's easy enough to get to from the centre, and there's on-site parking available if you're driving in.

Booking is essential, and that £9.00 starting price is for online advance tickets only, so you'll want to sort yours before you head down. The racecourse is at Colwick Road, Nottingham, NG2 4BE.
