Scottish Borders National Day is getting an extra sprinkling of Christmas magic this year, with our fabulous new Christmas Market, on one of our biggest racedays of 2026.

Shop for Christmas presents from a fantastic selection of local businesses, whilst trackside there will be superb, quality racing with more than £200,000 in prize money, including the Bruce Farms Scottish Borders National Steeplechase.

Expect top-class Jump Racing, a brilliant festive atmosphere, seasonal hospitality and plenty of reasons to make a day of it. And with one public enclosure at Kelso, you can get right up close to the action in the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure throughout the afternoon.

Limited Early Bird tickets are available now, book yours, bring the family, get some Christmas shopping ticked off and enjoy a festive day at the races.

There is also limited hospitality space, the perfect idea for your Christmas Parties.

FAMILY FUN DAY IS BACK AT KELSO!

Sunday 4th October brings together a brilliant afternoon of racing with plenty to keep the whole family entertained.

Alongside a fantastic card of racing, we’ve planned a packed Family Fun Zone with inflatable games in the Final Furlong Marquee, face painting, magic, a very special Peter Rabbit Meet & Greet, and the chance to find out what it takes to ride a racehorse with the Scottish Racing Academy’s Betty the equicizer.

And because no family day out is complete without ice-cream, and the first 200 children through the gates can pick up a voucher for a FREE ice cream.

There’s even more still to be announced as we build towards one of our favourite family fixtures of the season.

Great racing. Plenty of family fun. One brilliant Sunday at Kelso.

Sunday 4th October
Book your tickets now and save with an early bird ticket (LAST FEW REMAINING).
All accompanied under 18’s go free with a paying adult, so book now and give the family something to look forward to this October.
