Jun 24, 2026 | Events

Bath Racecourse is preparing for a summer evening of racing, live music and entertainment as The Wurzels headline a special Friday Night Racing event on 31 July.

Combining competitive flat racing with a post-race concert, the event promises an action-packed evening for racegoers looking to make the most of a summer Friday.

The gates open from 4pm, with a full programme of racing taking place throughout the evening against the backdrop of the Somerset countryside. Spectators can enjoy the excitement of live sport, food and drink, and the social atmosphere that has made Bath Racecourse one of the region’s most popular sporting venues.

Once the final race has been run, attention will turn to the live entertainment, with Somerset legends The Wurzels taking to the stage.

Known for their distinctive West Country sound and much-loved hits including The Combine Harvester, the group have entertained audiences for decades and remain one of the South West’s most recognisable musical acts.

Organisers say the event is designed to combine the thrill of racing with the atmosphere of a summer party, offering something for racing enthusiasts, music fans and groups of friends looking for a memorable evening out.

Friday Night Racing with The Wurzels takes place at Bath Racecourse on Friday 31 July, with activities running from 4pm until 9pm.

Further information and ticket details are available through Bath Racecourse.
