🎵 When you’re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go, to…. 🎵 #Cheltenham

If you aren’t planning on visiting Cheltenham or Benidorm this year please consider supporting our small independent racecourse… We are racing Cheltenham Thursday, all the Cheltenham races will be in our racecard and shown on the big screen & TV’s. And most importantly… you can enjoy 7 races here at Hexham! For just £12! #ComeRacing hexham-racecourse.co.uk/product/100218…

We are rapidly approaching the first of our 15 fixtures in 2026 on Thursday 12th March. We are delighted to announce an increase in prize money again for the coming year with all Steeple Chases (with the exception of our two Hunter Chases) run for a minimum of £10,000, Hurdle races a minimum of £9,000, with National Hunt Flat races continuing to be run for £6,500. The prestigious “Heart of All England” Maiden Hunter Steeple Chase run on Saturday 9th May will again have a total prize fund of £8,000 making it the most valuable Maiden Hunter Chase in the country. Our commitment to offer competitive prize money is a reflection on how we value the support offered to us by all Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and Stable Staff, we look forward to seeing you throughout the year and wish everyone success and enjoyable days racing at Hexham.

56 entries for the Border point-to-point @HexhamRaces on Saturday. First race of six due off at 12.30.

❌ RACING ABANDONED Due to snow today’s racing has been abandoned. We will contact everyone who has already purchased tickets/hospitality.

A story of two Fridays and two racecourses… an excellent 7 race card @HexhamRaces today, big fields, massive crowd, am sure a brilliant atmosphere and just shy of £90k in prize money. Roll forward to next Friday, half an hour down the road at Grade 1 track @NewcastleRaces - guess there will be a very poor crowd, zero atmosphere and a measly £48.8k on offer for the 7 race card. Hexham actually market their media rights through @arenaracingco yet the latter can only just manage to put up half the PM of their neighbour, can’t be bothered to pull in a crowd and appear not to care (though they keep sending trainers bars of chocolate - is that meant to be some sort of bizarre apology?) It’s nothing short of a disgrace and I’m really struggling to bring myself to make entries…. I probably won’t but it is really depressing the way that some tracks abuse their monopolistic control of our fixture list to the overall detriment of our sport - the road to nowhere @RacingPost @nickluck

Thank you, @MikeParcej, for pointing this out! 😃 #ITVRacing | @HexhamRaces

'I got man-of-the-match but never received my award because of a pitch invasion.' - Ex-Newcastle #PremRugby winner Pete Walton compares the Sir John Hall era to now. @RugbyTimes ✍️ #RedBull | #NewcastleRedBulls | #NewcastleFalcons rugbypass.com/news/i-signed-…

Starmer is a complete and utter national embarrassment. I can’t work out if he is just pig ignorant, hopelessly clueless, vindictive or just a pathological liar. Or perhaps all four. His #FamilyFarmTax is having catastrophic consequences. What will it take for him to listen.

𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀 𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙀𝘾𝘼𝙍𝘿𝙎! Thanks to @SkySportsRacing everyone who attends our Sky Sports Racing Family Evening on Wednesday 27th August will receive a free racecard on arrival! Ticket prices remain at £12 (£10 concessions) for the Paddock Enclosure if purchased in advance. #ComeRacing hexham-racecourse.co.uk/product/100210…

Despite the weather we had a fantastic crowd for our Ladies Day yesterday! 2,485 attended which was 9% up on last year and the highest Ladies Day attendance since 2010. It’s also our highest so far in 2025. We have a short break now until Wednesday 27th August, thank you to everyone who has attended so far this year!

Since it very rarely gets mentioned that we are known as Britain’s Most Scenic Racecourse, we thought we would share this photo from Sunday.

It’s Ladies Day this Sunday but don’t worry it’s still only £12 (£10 for concessions) to attend! We have 6 races for you to enjoy. There’s also best dressed competitions but with no strict dress code there’s no pressure to get dressed up. Bring the children along for free where there will be free kids entertainment including a bouncy castle. #ComeRacing #Value

We were delighted to welcome Her Majesty Queen Camilla to Hexham today. After meeting Racecourse officials, staff, industry representatives & guests, Her Majesty opened our new Queen Camilla Stand.
