About the event

An evening walk through light and colour offers a different use for this racecourse on non-racing days. It can work as a destination after daytime sightseeing, with time to pause rather than rush between displays.

  • Edo Sakura Tunnel: walk through a long illuminated passage.
  • Japanese landscape themes: see light installations inspired by familiar scenery.
  • Horses: look for the scheduled miniature-horse and pony programme.

This is the final season before a temporary pause for racecourse redevelopment, rather than a confirmed permanent closure.
