A MASSIVE weekend of celebrations to mark the end of summer is set to take place at one of Scotland’s most premier racecourses.
Racegoers are being urged to get tickets to ensure they don’t miss out on a weekend full of adrenaline pumping racing, toe tapping music with the top food and drink trucks Scotland has to offer. Musselburgh Racecourse is set to host its Summer Finale Party on September 16th and 17th, featuring two days of stellar competitive racing.
Saturday will feature The Summer Finale Raceday, while Sunday will show the Musselburgh Gold Cup Race Day with a huge range of activities for everyone to enjoy.

“Across the weekend people can expect top competitive racing on offer, whether you’re a seasoned racer or a newcomer there will be something for everyone.
“To kick off the weekend, those attending can come see the Summer Finale Raceday and enjoy the delicious range of festival street food then a chance to pull on their dancing shoes as we’ll have some great bands taking us through the decades.”
A diverse array of hospitality packages will be on offer, ranging from street food options to exclusive dining experiences in the Queen’s Stand Restaurant, inaugurated by Princess Anne and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Also featuring this year will be The Racecourse Ownership Day series on the Saturday, providing an array of exciting opportunities to explore the world of shared ownership which offers the chance to enjoy the thrill of owning a racehorse at the fraction of the cost.
