The 2026 season is under starters orders with the exciting 3-day Perth Festival, set to attract top-tier talent from the UK and Ireland to the historic Old Scone racecourse.

A Spectacular Opening Day
The Festival's opening day promises thrilling action both on and off the track. With over a staggering £310,000 prize pot up for grabs over the three days, this year's event is poised to be the most competitive in recent memory.

The best races of the Festival are concentrated on the opening day, ensuring that the first hooves to grace the fresh spring turf will be competing at the highest level.

Wednesday, April 22: A Day of Champions
With the biggest prize money pot on Day 1, this highly anticipated is set to attract top-tier horses and jockeys from across the country. Over £129,000 is up for grabs!

The most pretigious race of the Festival offers a mouthwatering £40,000, the British EBF Gold Castle Novice Listed Hurdle. 

Thursday, April 23: A Relaxed Day of Racing
Thursday's card may be slightly quieter but certainly not any less exciting with the Royal Scot Dragoon Guards on display, along with the Jackal. As exciting as it is off course, it still delivers plenty of exhilarating racing action on course and a £90,000 prize fund.

Take advantage of the more relaxed atmosphere to explore the delicious offerings at Cafe 1613 or Paddock & Chips.

Friday, April 24: A Festival Finale featuring the QuinnBet Highland National.
The final day of the Perth Festival is the most sociable of the three. Why not treat yourself to a day off work and immerse yourself in the racing festivities?

The unmissable race of the day, the £30,000 QuinnBet Highland National Handicap Steeple Chase!

After the seven-race card, the Perth based band playing Ska, Reggae, Northern Soul and a few Mod classics, The Owls, will take to the stage in The Barn for a one-hour performance.
