This is hardly surprising given that Middleham, near Bedale and just a short drive away, is home to a number of renowned racing stables. Whether you are in search of an elegant outing with the perfect excuse to dress up and enjoy a glass of champagne, or a more relaxed day out, our local racecourses offer something for everyone. The atmosphere is always lively, filled with anticipation and a wonderful sense of camaraderie among racegoers. The horses themselves are magnificent to behold, immaculately presented with gleaming coats as they are paraded around the paddock. Their owners lead them with pride, whilst jockeys in brilliantly coloured silks sit poised above, creating a dazzling display of colour and movement. Watching powerful thoroughbreds surge down the track, with the crowd cheering them on, is an unforgettable experience. Betting is entirely optional, and if you do decide to take part, it need not cost much. Even a modest wager on a horse that has caught your eye in the paddock can add an extra element of excitement. A day at the races also provides excellent opportunities for networking and socialising, making it an ideal choice for organisations looking to reward their teams with an enjoyable and memorable outing. Race meetings are certainly not reserved solely for experienced racegoers. Couples and groups seeking an occasion to dress up and embrace a touch of glamour will find Ladies’ Days particularly enjoyable. These events offer the chance to don your finest attire, enjoy refreshments, and fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere. Whether you choose to sample the excellent food available on site or bring along your own carefully prepared picnic, you are guaranteed a delightful day. With racecourses at York, Wetherby and Ripon, there is always a meeting to suit every taste. Racing at Ripon Ripon Racecourse, affectionately known as the Garden Racecourse, is located just a short drive from The Camberley Hotel and Cottages. It offers a charming and welcoming setting, with fixtures taking place throughout the season. Both afternoon and evening meetings are held, allowing visitors to choose an experience that suits their schedule. Ladies’ Day remains one of the highlights of the calendar, attracting racegoers keen to enjoy the social occasion as much as the racing itself. One of the most notable events of the season is the prestigious Great St Wilfred Handicap, a highly regarded six-furlong sprint which attracts some of the country’s finest horses and jockeys. Ripon Racecourse also plays an active role in supporting the local community, regularly hosting initiatives and charity events which allow racegoers to contribute to worthwhile causes whilst enjoying their day. The 2026 season includes:
Racing at Wetherby Wetherby Racecourse is a particularly enjoyable course to visit, offering both National Hunt and Flat racing throughout the year. National Hunt racing, with its thrilling jumps, is especially exciting to watch. Standing close to a fence as these powerful horses approach at speed before leaping gracefully over is truly impressive. Located within easy reach of The Camberley Hotel and Cottages, Wetherby hosts a variety of meetings, many of which support charitable organisations. These events combine the excitement of racing with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful causes. The festive period is an especially popular time at Wetherby. Christmas meetings are filled with seasonal cheer, and although warm clothing is essential, the atmosphere more than makes up for the winter chill. For many local residents, attending the Christmas races has become a much-loved annual tradition. During the summer months, flat racing fixtures provide a wonderful opportunity for a relaxed evening at the races, with Ladies’ Day offering the perfect excuse to dress up and enjoy the occasion. The 2026 season includes:
York Racecourse York Racecourse is widely regarded as the most prestigious of the three and is set within beautiful surroundings. It is easily accessible from The Camberley Hotel and Cottages and offers an exceptional racing experience. This course hosts flat racing exclusively, and its facilities are second to none. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a more refined and glamorous day out, where racegoers can dress elegantly and enjoy the occasion in style. York frequently attracts well-known faces and distinguished guests, adding to its sense of occasion. The racing season runs from spring through to autumn and includes several high-profile meetings. The Dante Festival marks the beginning of the season, whilst the renowned Ebor Festival later in the year is one of the highlights of the entire racing calendar. Ladies’ Day at York is particularly popular, drawing large crowds eager to enjoy both the racing and the social spectacle. York also hosts live music events alongside selected race meetings, combining sporting excitement with first-class entertainment. The 2026 season includes:
After a day filled with excitement, energy and atmosphere, there is no better place to return to than the comfort and elegance of The Camberley, The Lodge and Camberley Cottages. Here, you can relax and reflect on the highlights of the day, perhaps even celebrate a successful wager. All three venues provide an excellent base not only for visiting the local racecourses but also for exploring the many attractions, beautiful landscapes and activities available nearby.

Whether you are an experienced racegoer or attending for the very first time, The Camberley, the Lodge and Camberley Cottages offer the perfect place to stay whilst enjoying all that the racing season has to offer.
