About

Ascot Fireworks Spectacular Family Raceday – Jumps Racing Meets Autumn Fun

Celebrate the start of the 2026/27 Jumps season in unforgettable style at Ascot’s Fireworks Spectacular Family Raceday. This action-packed day combines thrilling National Hunt racing with one of the region’s most dazzling fireworks displays, featuring over 20,000 fireworks lighting up the night sky.

Racing Highlights

On the track, enjoy an exciting programme of jumps races, headlined by the prestigious Sodexo Live Gold Cup Premier Handicap. It’s the perfect way to welcome the new season with top-class equestrian action.

Family Entertainment & Fireworks

Away from the racing, families can dive into a world of fun with spooky-themed activities and fairground rides (free until 4pm, with an optional £1 charity donation thereafter). After the final race, the skies come alive with a breathtaking fireworks display, included with your raceday ticket.

Children under 18 go free when accompanied by a full-paying adult (no ticket required), making this an ideal day out for all ages. Please note: older teens may be asked for ID as proof of age.
