Sky Bet Ebor Festival
The Sky Bet Ebor Festival, the highlight of York’s racing season, takes place 19 – 22 August 2026 at York Racecourse. Across four exceptional days, the festival blends world‑class racing, the glamour of Ladies Day, and a vibrant social atmosphere at one of Britain’s premier racecourses.
The Ebor Festival showcases some of the sport’s most historic and prestigious races. The Juddmonte International, ranked The Longines World’s Best Horse Race in 2024, and the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe, the world’s highest‑rated 1,000m sprint, are among the unmissable highlights.
It’s a rare chance to witness record‑breaking performances while soaking up the energy of top‑tier racing.
