The Big Bark came to Betway Towcester Racecourse on Saturday and Sunday.

Agility, show classes, have-a-go arenas, a shopping village and street food, with hundreds of dogs and their owners making the most of our 310 acres of Northamptonshire countryside.

Thanks to the organisers for a well-run couple of days, their sponsors, and to all the exhibitors who joined them, including Bella & Duke, Canine Corner, Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs, Poochies, Tails.com, Towcester Vets and many more.

A lot of different ways to love a dog, and a great weekend to see them all in action.

🐎 SIX FIXTURES AGREED FOR 2027/28

We're thrilled to share that National Hunt racing is set to return to Betway Towcester Racecourse on Wednesday 20 October 2027, the first time since May 2018.

Six fixtures have now been agreed for the 2027/28 season. Backed by a £2 million+ investment in the racing surface and spectator facilities, this is a huge step forward for the track.

We're also aiming to host Point-to-Point fixtures in spring 2027, ahead of Rules racing returning later in the year.

A genuinely exciting milestone, with plenty more to share as preparations continue.

📍 Betway Towcester Racecourse 🗓️ First fixture: Wednesday 20 October 2027
