Newbury Racecourse Beer Festival

Fri 11 - Sat 12 April 2025

RG14 7NZ, Newbury

The Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend – across Friday 11th & Saturday 12th April – kickstarts a huge summer of racing at Newbury and the Racecourse’s popular craft beer festival is back to see in the flat season in style.

The two-day Spring Trials meeting – which is presented by the Racecourse’s longstanding partners Dubai Duty Free for the 30th consecutive year in 2025 – guarantees top quality action on the track as well as a host of entertainment, food and drink off it.

For the racing enthusiasts, there is high class racing featuring three Group 3 races on Saturday, including The Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes (The John Porter Stakes), The Dubai Duty Free Stakes (The Fred Darling Stakes) and The Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes. Many runners will be making their seasonal reappearance ahead of lofty targets later in the year in these well supported Classic trials.

Alongside the racing and the beer festival – one ticket grants admission to both – those in attendance will be able to try their luck in the Dubai Duty Free Marquee with the chance to claim free gifts and win entry into Dubai Duty Free’s Millenium Millionaire prize draw.

Both days of the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend will welcome the return of the Racecourse’s popular craft beer festival, featuring over 30 ales and ciders from eight local breweries.
