About Haydock Park Racecourse
Haydock Park Racecourse is the Jockey Club course in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, between Manchester and Liverpool, racing on 32 days a year across Flat and jumps seasons. In summer it also runs Haydock Park Nights, racing followed by a headline concert: Olly Murs plays on Saturday 19 June 2027, the first act announced for the 2027 series.
What hospitality is there at Haydock Park Racecourse?
Haydock Park sells two kinds of hospitality of its own: restaurant packages and private boxes. The Park Suite is its all-inclusive premier experience with a three-course set menu, and other restaurant packages range from a four-course a la carte menu to a two-course carvery, each with Premier Course admission. The private boxes take up to 40 guests, with a private bar and a dedicated box host and reserved parking at one pass per two guests. Alcohol is served to over-18s only and ID may be requested.
Who Haydock Park hospitality suits
A private box suits a company hosting a full group on its own terms: the box is yours for the day, with a host looking after it. The restaurants suit smaller tables who want a set meal and the run of the Premier areas between races.
What are Haydock Park Nights?
Haydock Park Nights are the racecourse's summer evenings of racing followed by a headline concert, with one ticket covering both. The concert takes place on an open-air stage away from the grandstands, standing only on grass and concrete. Previous headliners include Olly Murs and Jess Glynne, and Olly Murs returns for 2027 as part of his eight-date summer tour.
Rules that change on music nights
Music nights run on stricter rules than ordinary race days. Picnics and umbrellas are not allowed, bags must be A4 or smaller and are searched, chairs are not permitted, and the station shuttle does not run. Under-18s must be with an adult aged 21 or over, no more than three per adult.
What are the big race days at Haydock Park?
Haydock's flagship is the Sprint Cup, a Group 1 race over six furlongs in early September, covered on our Haydock Sprint Cup Festival page. The Old Newton Cup is the last surviving link to the town's original races, which ran until 1898; the current course opened in 1899.

Olly Murs headlines Haydock Park Nights on Saturday 19 June 2027, billed Olly Murs Live After Racing, and is the only act announced so far as of 2 October 2026. Racing comes first and the concert follows at around 9pm to 10.30pm, subject to change.
