With thirteen fixtures in the season, Kelso Races is the home of National Hunt racing in the Scottish Borders.We believe in looking after you in the proper manner and we go to great lengths to make racegoers feel really welcome.

That's why Kelso was voted 'Britain's Friendliest Racecourse' in a recent Sunday Times survey.

The racecourse is steeped in history, tradition, and utter respect for the sport. The facilities are everything you could wish for, whether you just want to lay a fiver on the fourth race and grab a pint, or you've decided to host a full three course lunch for fifty people in one of our nineteen private suites - it's a wonderful balance.

The course itself (much the same as Cheltenham, only smaller) has large, solid steeple chase fences and a long, punishing, uphill run-in. Consequently, many trainers use the January and February meetings as a trail for the Cheltenham Festival and Aintree, bringing top-grade jumpers to the Borders' premier racecourse.

Horse racing at Kelso offers the unique charm of a bygone era, coupled with the very best in modern facilities. Add to this the friendliness of our staff and patrons, plus superb high quality racing in very picturesque surroundings of the Scottish Borders, and you have the reasons for Kelso being awarded the 'Best Small Course in Scotland and Northern England'.

A truly memorable day is definitely on the cards. Whether you're a sponsor, racegoer or a guest, a warm welcome awaits you.
