Durham National is HERE for 2025!🎠
This October, the famous Durham National gallops back into town and it's not just racing, it's a full-blown Big Top of Thrills!
Looking for fun family days out this October? Forget the ordinary — come experience the main event under open skies! With the energy of a circus and the excitement of the track, a day at the races is the greatest show in town.
Entertainment
Throughout the day, you’ll be dazzled by mini circus performances, roaming entertainers, and surprises around every corner. Kids (and kids at heart!) can try their hand at circus skills activities — from plate-spinning to juggling — or enjoy magical meet-and-greets with colourful characters straight from the big top. It’s a whirl of wonder for the whole family, making this more than just a race day — it’s a circus spectacular you won’t want to miss!
