Come and play at Musselburgh’s biggest raceday in June. 

Join us for fun, frivolities, and the pure exhilaration of a day at the races.

Enjoy The Edinburgh Cup and witness the fastest filly or mare win the Listed, 7 furlong, The Queen of Scots race! The Edinburgh Cup will attract a top field and the winner would normally go on to Royal Ascot a few weeks later. 

On top of high-quality racing, enjoy the best live music on our Main Stage and the After-Racing party (open to all racegoers and will take place for 1 hour after the last race).

Sip on botanical-inspired cocktails from Edinburgh Gin Tipple Trailer. Indulge in tasty bites from some of Scotland’s finest street food vendors. Our food vendors cater for dietary requirements and preferences.

For those who wish to watch The Epsom Derby, it will be shown on our screens around the racecourse.

Come with friends, family and colleagues and soak up the party atmosphere with all the excitement of the races. Don't forget to dress to impress as there will be a social competition for our most fashionable racegoers. Stay tuned on our social channels for more information.
