Established in 2004, Ladies Day at Musselburgh quickly became one of Scotland’s most prestigious and popular racing events.

This year’s sold out event on Friday, August 9, will be hosted by Radio 2 DJ and Eurovision commentator Rylan Clark, who will entertain the crowds with an after-party to end the day of racing.

Building on the success of the Style Awards sponsored by Tiger Lily Boutique, this year’s ‘best dressed’ top prize includes an invitation to visit Champagne Pommery in France.

Musselburgh Racecourse is one of Britain’s most atmospheric horse racing venues, winning Champion Racecourse in 2023.

Gates open at 11:30am for Ladies Day next Friday, with the first race starting at 2.20pm, the last race at 4.50pm, the after- racing party starts at 5pm. All race times are provisional and may be subject to change. Racegoers can then head into Edinburgh to race sponsor Copper Blossom at George Street to enjoy cocktails, canapes and live music.
