Families, Music and Award wins!
The fixtures are coming thick and fast now approaching Spring! As always, we appreciate your support and thank you for renewing your badge. If you are new to the experience, thank you for joining us and we hope you all enjoy what we have in store for 2025.
Annual Badges, Half Year Badges, and 18-24 Young Racegoers Badges are still available to purchase. If you know someone who shares your passion for horse racing, don’t miss the opportunity to receive a complimentary table in the restaurant by recommending an annual badge to a friend. This could make the perfect present for someone along with a treat for yourself.
The first of seven feature days this year is the Easter Sunday Carnival Race Day, with lots of activities for the children and the return of the popular Shetland Pony Racing!
Returning for the first time since 2015, Tom Jones will make his triumphant return to Market Rasen Racecourse this summer, for a full headline set after racing on Saturday 16 August. Expect to hear all his biggest hits including "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Delilah" and many more.
Tom Jones said, “Performing live is the centre of my life and I’m really pleased to be returning to Market Rasen Racecourse to play to such a welcoming audience. The Jockey Club Live shows are exciting dates in my calendar - the fans really enjoy the day so are always sensational. I can’t wait to spend a summer’s evening with everyone this August.”
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Tony Gibson, who has decided to step down from being a long-standing Annual Badge Holders Representative. Tony was first elected in 2014 and having him on the committee has been a pleasure. His knowledge and passion for the sport shine through and he’s been a great supporter of our small course for all those years. Thank you Tony, we look forward to continuing to see you on race days.
The Annual Badge Holders Representatives for 2025-2026 have been appointed. We are pleased to have both Jayne North and Graham Green standing again and welcome alongside them David Black. Details of how to contact them are within the bar, and we do encourage all feedback good and bad to help us improve the experience. Thank you to those who applied, we appreciate your interest in the role and would encourage you to apply again when this term comes to an end.
We are incredibly proud to announce that Market Rasen is officially Britain's most-improved course for customer experience, after forcing its way into the top 15 tracks in results of the Racecourse Association's annual Quality Assured Racecourse Scheme published last month. The AA assessor visited on family day and complimented the course for its acute attention to detail, warm hospitality and impressive remedial work to rectify previously recommended improvements.

From myself and all the team here, thank you again for supporting our racecourse!
Jack Pryor
General Manager
