Named after the ancient coronation stone of Scottish kings, this is a raceday that honours history while serving up a thoroughly modern celebration. Expect first-class sporting action over seven heart thumping races, an unbeatable atmosphere, and a Grandstand experience that puts you right at the heat of the action.
The titular race, the prestigious Stone of Destiny Handicap Hurdle worth £25,000, is the one to watch. Attracting some of the most exciting trainers and horses from across the UK and Ireland, this exhilarating race offers one of the more unusual trophies – a mini replica of the Stone itself!
Once the racing is over, the party kicks up a notch with Unison Anthems in The Barn. This Glasgow based collective famed for their elite musicians, DJ energy, and stadium-style showmanship are guaranteed to get you moving to the beat.
As the final weekend meeting of the 2025 season, the Stone of Destiny Raceday is one the busiest fixtures of the year. So, whether you're after the thrill of the turf, the heritage behind the name, or looking for an excuse to dress up and raise a glass, the Stone of Destiny is the day out you don’t want to miss!
Historic Name, Modern Day Spectacle
The Stone of Destiny is an iconic symbol of Scottish history with its origins in Scone Palace, just a stone’s throw from the racecourse itself. This famed fixture offers a programme of racing worthy of its name, with history, horsepower and high stakes all rolled into one.
Go Grandstand for the Best Views in the House
From the moment the gates open, the Grandstand Enclosure puts you right in the heart of the action. Enjoy uninterrupted views of the final furlong, access to bars and betting, and the buzz of a crowd looking to enjoy a great day at the races.
Live Music from Unison Anthems
After the final race, the fun doesn’t stop – all ticket holders are invited to The Barn, where Unison Anthems will take to the stage with a live set packed full of feel-good anthems.
Style with a Scottish Twist
Grandstand ticket holders always bring their fashion A-game – think tweeds, tailoring, summer dresses and standout accessories – so make sure you bump up the style stakes and dress to impress.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry!
With easy access to premium food vendors, craft drinks, and sociable seating areas, the Grandstand Enclosure makes it easy to relax in comfort while soaking up every moment of the action. Whether you’re a racing regular or first-timer, it’s the perfect place to be.
