The 2026 festival at Epsom Downs Racecourse isn’t just about world-class racing—it’s a full-on experience for everyone. Yes, you’ll witness history with a £2 million Derby and an action-packed 90 minutes of top-tier races back-to-back—but there’s so much more to enjoy beyond the track.
Bring the whole family: under 18s go FREE, with added perks for younger visitors, plus free parking for all. Whether it’s your first visit or a yearly tradition, it’s never been easier to be part of the atmosphere.
Looking for more than racing? Head to The Hill for the brand-new DerbyFest—completely free, packed with live music, entertainment, and a buzzing festival vibe. There’s even a Main Stage, celebrity appearances and chances to get up close with racing stars.
Upgrade your day with exciting new spaces like Galileo’s, featuring live entertainment and an after party, or soak up the views from covered “Champions Seating” right by the final furlong.
From thrilling sport to festival fun, stylish Ladies Day to family-friendly activities, the Betfred Derby Festival 2026 is set to deliver an unforgettable summer highlight.
