Kick off the 2026 flat racing season in style at Brighton Racecourse on Saturday 18 April. Set against sweeping coastal views and the rolling Sussex Downs, this vibrant evening blends thrilling live racing with an unforgettable ABBA party atmosphere.
As the first fixture of the season, the opener brings fresh excitement to the track, with horses, jockeys, and trainers all looking to make their mark. Watch the action unfold as the sun sets over the sea, creating a spectacular backdrop for an evening of sport, socialising, and springtime energy.
Once the racing finishes, the party begins. ABBA The Party! takes over with a dazzling live show packed with iconic hits, sparkling costumes, and feel-good nostalgia. From "Waterloo" to "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!", expect singalong moments and a lively dancefloor by the sea.
Perfect for groups, celebrations, or a unique night out.
