The Midlands racing scene is headlined by Uttoxeter Racecourse, home to the infamous Midlands Grand National, a premier marathon steeplechase held each March.

High-quality Jump racing is also a staple at Warwick, which hosts the prestigious Classic Chase in January, and Stratford-on-Avon, famous for its summer jumping fixtures and the Foxhunter Champion Hunters’ Chase.

On the Flat, Nottingham and Leicester provide competitive turf racing, with the latter hosting its popular Ladies Day each July.

For year-round action, the region relies on its all-weather powerhouses: Wolverhampton, the UK’s first floodlit track, and Southwell, which recently upgraded to a Tapeta surface to host high-frequency fixtures through the Winter months.

Worcester completes the regional circuit, offering picturesque Summer Jump racing alongside the River Severn.
