Newbury Racecourse Extends Complimentary Ticket Offer for Racing Staff Again In 2026

Racing industry staff can once again claim a free ticket for themselves and a guest at seven of Newbury’s racedays this year

Newbury Racecourse is delighted to be able to extend their complimentary ticket offering for racing staff – and their friends & family – in 2026.

This year, those working within the racing industry can claim a free ticket for themselves and a guest to seven racedays, giving them the chance to enjoy the action at one of the UK’s premier racecourses for free.

The initiative, designed to thank and recognise the dedication of the staff who are the backbone of the horseracing industry, builds on the success the offering first introduced in 2024, with hundreds of tickets claimed across the available racedays since its inception.

All those working within the horseracing industry can secure a pair of complimentary tickets for the following seven racedays:

• Friday 17 April: Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials with Craft Beer Festival
• Tuesday 23 June: June Evening Raceday
• Thursday 2 July: Summer Evening Series Raceday with The 70s Disco
• Thursday 9 July: Summer Evening Series Raceday with The Wild Wild West
• Thursday 23 July: Summer Evening Series Raceday with The Ibiza Beach Club
• Friday 23 October: BetVictor Flat Finale with Oktoberfest
• Wednesday 16 December: BetVictor Christmas Raceday

Tickets can be requested by visiting www.newburyracecourse.co.uk/racingstaff and completing a short form.

Shaun Hinds, Chief Executive Officer at Newbury Racecourse said: “We’re keen to continue to make our racing experiences as accessible as possible, especially for those working at the heart of our sport.

“Now in its third year, these complimentary tickets are a gesture of thanks from all of us here at Newbury Racecourse to recognise the dedication of racing staff, without whom our wonderful sport would not be possible.”

The confirmation of Newbury Racecourse’s free ticket opportunity for racing staff follows the news that all of Newbury’s 2026 racing tickets are available for less than in 2025 as the Racecourse works to make its racing experiences accessible for all.
