Live After Racing combines an afternoon of horse racing with an evening of live entertainment. UB40 ft. Ali Campbell headline the musical side of things on Friday, 24 July. The event runs from 3 p.m. until 10:30 p.m., giving you plenty of time to enjoy the racing before settling in for the reggae set.
The vibe
Think summer evening, open-air setting, and the kind of feel-good reggae that gets everyone moving. It's a hybrid event that lets you do two very different things in one night — the buzz of the racecourse by day transitions into a proper concert atmosphere once the sun starts dropping. UB40's back catalogue of smooth reggae and pop-reggae crossovers should slot perfectly into that mood.
Getting tickets
Tickets are available through the usual channels. Expect standard Live After Racing pricing, which typically offers good value given you're getting both racing access and a headliner of UB40's calibre. Book in advance — these events tend to move briskly once word gets out.
