Cartmel Races has announced the details of its 2023 season with the return of May Bank Holiday racing and an ABBA-inspired night of summer music.
This year, racing will be back in full swing and the May Bank Holiday weekend and Super troupers Björn Again are also hitting the stage at Cartmel Racecourse on Friday 30 June.
The racing season starts on Saturday, May 27 followed by meetings on Monday, 29 and Wednesday, 31 and tickets are already on sale.
It’s not just the racing that’s back – there will be a plethora of fun-filled days with a carnival atmosphere providing plenty of dates for families to come and enjoy.
Racecourse director Geraldine McKay said: “We’re really excited to be welcoming back racegoers for our 2023 season.

“Cartmel really is a course like no other, partly thanks to our beautiful location, but also because of the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that our visitors help create.
“As usual we’ve got a host of delicious food and drink options, trade stalls and the funfair, all of which make for a fantastic day out for families.”
Almost half of the people who head to Cartmel do so as part of a holiday and stay in a motorhome or caravan; however spaces are already sold out for the whole season.
Now might be the time to make your reservations in the restaurant as tables are filling up fast and there are only a few places available.
Gates will open at 9am on all race days and, for those who aren’t bringing their own picnic, the Louis Roederer Restaurant will open at 11.30am.
