Eight race days between late November and mid-January bring gallopers and harness racing to the North Road Racecourse just outside Currie. It’s one of the most social stretches of the island calendar.
Dress code is country-casual, food and drinks are run by community groups, and the racebook doubles as a chance to catch up with half the island. Family-friendly, with plenty of space to spread out.
