Get ready to rewind the clock as we bring you the ultimate 80s night at Royal Windsor Racecourse! Combining thrilling flat racing with a full-on 80s party, this is a Monday evening packed with action, atmosphere, and iconic 80s music.

Enjoy the buzz of Monday Night Racing before heading trackside for a spectacular live show from 80s Explosion – The Ultimate 80s Concert. This incredible 80s band will perform all your favourite 80s songs, from Take On Me and Africa to Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Blue Monday. With dazzling lights, energetic performances, and unforgettable hits, it’s the closest you’ll get to stepping back into the neon era itself.

Dress To Impress

Part of the fun of an 80s party is the outfits – so why not dig out your leg warmers, sequins, neon jackets or power suits? Whether you’re rocking Madonna glam, new romantic vibes, or a classic Top Gun look, this is your chance to shine.
