BetVictor Flat Finale with Oktoberfest (Saturday)
The final day of the 2024 flat season arrives with the BetVictor Flat Finale with Oktoberfest on Saturday 26th October.
The Racecourse will be transformed into a traditional Bavarian party – complete with bierkeller, bratwurst, oompah bands and lederhosen – as a two-day Oktoberfest celebration arrives.
And of course, there’s still the matter of an afternoon’s thrilling flat racing on the track to complement the party off it.
Take your pick from the Grandstand and Premier Enclosures – whichever you pick, book early and save with Under 18s going free and discounts for groups of seven or more.
Enjoy every moment of the Oktoberfest weekend with a discounted two-day pass – and with free parking and an on-site train station it couldn’t be easier to get here.
