Three incredible weekends of music will have visitors racing to Lingfield this summer.

Lingfield Park Racecourse, near the Kent/Surrey border, is set to host some fantastic artists and first class events for three consecutive Saturdays, including Paloma Faith and the Human League.

First up is the official Ladies Evening, which takes place on Saturday, July 23.

This annual event sees thousands of racegoers - and their most fabulous hats - flock to the racecourse to celebrate with a day of fizz and fun.

Visitors can dress up in their best racing day finery for a chance to impress the judges and win a cash prize of £500 at the Style Awards.

Once the racing is over, there will be a live performance from an Abba tribute act, so make sure you pack a spare pair of dancing shoes in your bag.

The following weekend will see chart-topping singer Paloma Faith take to the Surrey stage.

The BRIT-award winner will perform a headline set of her biggest hits, such as Picking Up the Pieces and Only Love Can Hurt Like This, at the Live After Racing event on Saturday, July 30.

Before you enjoy an evening of live music, you can make the most of your day by watching the races on the track and stopping off at a number of bars and eateries.

Rounding up the string of events with a night of ‘80s nostalgia is the Human League.

The synth-pop trio, best known for singles Don't You Want Me, which made its mark as Christmas No. 1 in 1981, Together in Electric Dreams and Fascination, will be at the racecourse on Saturday, August 6.

This headline performance comes exactly one month after their performance at the Rochester Castle Concerts in July with Altered Images and Blancmange.
