Step into spring at Hereford Racecourse on Wednesday 18 March 2026 with an afternoon of thrilling National Hunt racing. Our Spring Afternoon Racing fixture is the perfect way to embrace the longer days, warmer weather, and the fresh promise of a new season in the sporting calendar.
With a lively card of six to eight jump races, the stage is set for an action-packed afternoon. Watch as horses and jockeys compete with skill and determination, all against the scenic backdrop of the Herefordshire countryside in bloom. Whether you’re a seasoned racing enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this spring fixture offers the ideal mix of excitement and relaxation.
There’s something wonderfully easy-going about a midweek race day. Gates open late morning, giving you time to explore the course, enjoy refreshments, and catch the buzz around the parade ring before the first race. With a friendly crowd and a relaxed pace, it’s an accessible and welcoming way to experience the thrill of live racing.
Make your day even more memorable by joining us in the Snaffles Restaurant. This hospitality package includes a three-course menu, reserved seating, table service, and a racecard—all enjoyed with exceptional views of the course. It’s the ultimate way to combine great food with top-class sport.
Alternatively, our food and drink outlets will be open throughout the afternoon, serving tasty snacks, hearty meals, and a full range of beverages to keep you fuelled as you follow the action.
Hereford Racecourse welcomes visitors of all ages. With free entry for children aged 17 and under when accompanied by a paying adult, it’s a fantastic day out for families. The thrill of seeing the horses up close in the parade ring and the excitement of cheering them down the home straight make racing an experience younger visitors will never forget.
