December begins on the 3rd with the Team Forces Military Raceday. This quieter afternoon fixture offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a relaxed day of racing in the beautiful Somerset countryside, providing a welcome winter escape.
Next, the Christmas Jumper Raceday on 15th December brings festive cheer to the racecourse, with racegoers encouraged to embrace the season in their best Christmas knitwear. There are prizes up for grabs for the best festive outfits – expect a colourful sea of Christmas jumpers and plenty of seasonal spirit.

One of the highlights of the winter calendar follows with Fitzdares Boxing Day Racing, as racegoers are welcomed back for a much-loved Wincanton tradition. Having sold out last year, Boxing Day Raceday remains a firm favourite for friends and families looking to get outdoors after a busy Christmas Day to enjoy an afternoon of thrilling racing.
The festive season may be over, but there is still plenty to look forward to in the new year. The £10 Raceday on Saturday 9th January offers an affordable day out and the perfect opportunity to beat the January blues with an afternoon of racing in the Somerset countryside.
From festive celebrations to cherished traditions and great-value racing, Wincanton Racecourse has something for everyone this winter.
