This time of year brings that bit of magic with it that every event feels special. We think that especially applies to horse racing in December, with the festive atmosphere, everyone wrapped up to stay warm, taking in the thrills from the track.
It’s not just about the thrilling action on the track – we’ve got plenty to keep the celebrations going off it too. On our Festive Raceday, the fun continues long after the last horse has crossed the line with live music from The Revinyls 80s Band!
Get ready to dance, sing, and relive the golden era of pop and rock as The Revinyls bring all your favourite 80s hits to life. Their energetic performance is guaranteed to get the crowd moving and keep the festive spirit in full swing.
To kick off racing in style, we’re offering some sparkling drink deals for the first hour after gates open:
50% off draught drinks – including soft drinks, lager, cider, bitter & Guinness (your first pint could be just £3.25!) £10 off any bottle of house wine, Prosecco, Champagne or jug of Pimms!
**Up to 50% off drinks terms and conditions: Offer strictly available for 1 hour after the advertised gate opening time only. Offer only available for general attendance customers, including annual members and owners & trainers. Offer can be withdrawn at the racecourse’s discretion. Please speak to a member of the team for more information. Please drink responsibly.
Cheering on your favourites to the finish line never felt so jolly. Whether you enjoy your winter sports events by braving the cold to watch the action trackside, or making the most of the heating and hot drinks and watching from the screens inside, we’ve got you covered.
The barrage of things to do in December can feel a bit overwhelming at times. We like to keep it simple - a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all ages, with a selection of food and drink, and packed with sporting action. Perfect choice of winter event when trying to get everyone together.
The run up to Christmas can be so pricey, so save money by buying our discounted tickets online.
