When is the Ebor Festival 2027?
The 2027 Ebor Festival runs over four days from Wednesday 18 to Saturday 21 August 2027 at York Racecourse. The Ebor handicap is on the Saturday, and the Juddmonte International opens the meeting on the Wednesday.
York's Ebor Festival is four days of top-class summer flat racing, combining Group 1s like the Juddmonte International and the Nunthorpe with the Ebor, Europe's richest flat handicap. York is a flat, fair track, but big fields and draw biases still make the handicaps very hard to call.

How to judge Ebor Festival tips before you pay
Big handicaps need a long record
The Ebor is very hard to win. A tipster with one big Ebor winner may just have been lucky; ask for their handicap record over several seasons.
Check the draw
In big fields at York, one side can be favoured on a given day. A good tipster explains how the draw affects their picks.
Ask for a full, time-stamped record — not festival highlights
Every tipster posts their big festival winners. What matters is every bet they advised at the meeting in previous years, with the time it was sent and the price available then. If they can only show you winners, assume the losers were hidden.
Check the prices were actually available
A tip at 20/1 that was 8/1 within a minute of being sent isn't a 20/1 winner for most followers. Ask how quickly prices move after their tips and judge their record at the odds you could realistically get, ideally against Betfair SP as a sense check.
Treat a big meeting as a tiny sample
Even a busy festival is only a couple of dozen races. A tipster can have a brilliant or awful week by luck alone, so never judge them — or change your staking — on one meeting. Look at their whole season and several years of the same meeting.
Set a festival bankroll and level stakes before day one
Decide a total budget for the meeting, split it into level stakes (for example 1–2% of your bank per point) and stick to it. Chasing losses on the final day is how most people give back a good week. 18+, and only bet what you can afford to lose.
