A day at the races can be a lot of fun, and these days it isn’t just for the hard core racing fan. Many racecourses have started offering live music, food festivals and childrens events to make the day even more enjoyable for the whole family.
On Racecourse Events, we showcase the best events that British racing has to offer. Even if you’ve never watched a horse race before, there’s plenty to get involved with. Past events have included big names such as Tom Jones and Craig David, and this summer looks like it will be even better.
