Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials (Saturday)

Sat 18 Apr
Sat 18 Apr

The 2026 flat season gets underway in style as the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend arrives.

Enjoy a big day of flat racing and a host of off-track entertainment courtesy of the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend.

Off the track there’s our popular craft beer festival to enjoy – with over 30 craft ales and ciders on offer to get the taste buds flowing.

A ticket will not only gain you access to the racing but also the craft beer festival – it’s the ultimate experience for racing and beer lovers!

Take your pick from the Grandstand and Premier Enclosures – whichever you choose, book early and save with Under 18s going free and discounts for groups of seven or more.

Enjoy every moment of the 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.
