15/07/26 Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity Race Day coming to Bath Racecourse

Mar 16, 2026 | Events

A summer day of racing, fundraising and community spirit is heading to Bath Racecourse as the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity prepares to host a special Charity Race Day this July.

Taking place on Wednesday 15 July, the event promises a full day of live racing while raising vital funds to support the life-saving work of the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity.

Organisers say the day is designed for everyone, whether you are a seasoned racing fan or simply looking for a fun day out with friends and family. Alongside the action on the track, the event offers stunning views from the Lansdown course and the opportunity to support a cause that plays a crucial role across the region.

The charity’s helicopter and critical care teams respond to hundreds of emergencies each year across Wiltshire and Bath, delivering rapid medical care when every second counts.

Visitors attending the race day will be helping to fund that work while enjoying an exciting summer event.

General admission tickets are priced at £10, making the event accessible for those looking for an affordable day at the races. For those wanting to make more of the occasion, hospitality packages are available at £75 per person.

The event runs from 9am to 5pm at Bath Racecourse on Lansdown.

Anyone wanting further details about hospitality packages or the day itself can contact the charity’s corporate fundraising team at corporate@wbairambulance.org.uk.

With racing, great views and the chance to support a vital local service, organisers say the message for the day is simple: race, cheer and give back.
