Perth Festival

The 2024 season starts, as always, with the 3-day Perth Festival and is set to attract some of the biggest and best names in UK and Irish racing to Old Scone this season. 

The opening day of the Perth Festival will feature sporting highlights on and off the track.

As part of a revitalised format designed to enhance the experience for both jockeys and spectators, the highest value fixture of the year - worth £106,000 of the Perth Festival’s total prize pot - will take place on the opening day of the season for the first time in the racecourse’s history. Continuing from a successful 2022 Perth Festival, this year again a ‘front loading' approach has been applied to the week schedule to ensure that the first hooves on the fresh Spring ground are of the highest quality possible, competing on the best quality racing surface.
