Put your hands up for Epsom and O Beach Ibiza

Epsom Downs and O Beach Ibiza have announced an exciting new partnership which will see the iconic day-party experience take over at the Betfred Derby Festival.

The collaboration will see O Beach Ibiza bring its renowned daytime party experience to the iconic Epsom Downs Racecourse, taking over Galileo’s, an exciting new marquee in the Grandstand Enclosure on both June 5 and June 6.

Available to all Grandstand ticket holders, the activation will create a vibrant destination throughout the day and host a one of a kind after party.

The blend of music, atmosphere and sporting occasion represents a key element of Epsom Downs’ ongoing investment plans for 2026 and beyond, helping to re-invigorate the Betfred Derby Festival, and appeal to a younger audience, inspiring the next generation of racegoers to attend one of the most historic racing fixtures in the world.

Jim Allen, General Manager at Epsom Downs, said on Friday: “This partnership marks an exciting step in how we continue to evolve the Betfred Derby Festival.

“Working with O Beach allows us to enhance the Grandstand experience with high-quality entertainment that appeals to a younger audience, while remaining true to the heritage of the event.

“We are excited to work with the team and bring this vision to life in 2026.”

Speaking about the partnership, Tony Truman, owner at O Beach, said: “Epsom is such a special one for me, so bringing the O Beach vibe to the Derby Festival feels like the perfect fit.

“It’s a legendary weekend with huge heritage and a brilliant crowd, and we can’t wait to create an experience that feels exciting, premium and full of energy — the kind of celebration people will talk about long after the last race.”

Tickets for the Betfred Derby Festival are available via www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/epsom with the O Beach experience hosted at Galileo’s across both festival days.
