A special atmosphere especially if there is a horse race as well. It is good to see old friends and well wishers on New Years day.

Went there and noticed that it's a lot smaller the usual racecourses that I've been too with my girlfriend. However, it was really an excellent place to hang out. The racing was really facinating and we really enjoyed everything about the place. I love the food we had at a considerable price. Definitely something I look forward to going back... More

What a beautiful open course this is, having been to many racecourses this is by far one of my favourites. It is very cheap to get in and is always packed, even when it is raining. The staff are always very helpful and if you have kids there is always extra activities put on for them to enjoy. I would... More

A great day of racing for only £12 for students. Adults would pay £20. The facilities are good quality but there is a shortage of ATMs. Also the ATMs available charge you for each withdrawal and take an age to process your request.

Musselburgh racecourse was a great day out and not as expensive as I originally thought it was going to be.

A very compact and efficient racetrack where you are close to the action. Excellent eating facilities and a variety of betting oportunities on and off course. Paddock is open and close to the track.

After attending the Betview awards and noticing that Musselburgh won Racecourse of the year I perhaps was a little too expectant of great things but I have to admit I was not won over by the course. The main restaurant had no availability so we booked a table in Rosie's bistro which is sited under the stand with an entrance... More

Went to the racecourse in September and had a really great day out. My wife and I had passes so that was good. One of the lovely ladies allowed my 78 year old friend get in for free and we thank her for that. There was a wedding going on that day and they all seemed to be having fun.... More
