BOXING Day horse racing at Sedgefield Racecourse……it’s as much a part of Christmas as turkey, mulled wine and crackers and it’s back again for another year!
With more than 4,000 people due to descend on the track from across the region the day after Christmas, it’s one of the most popular festive sporting events in County Durham.
The tapes will fly up for the first of seven races on Thursday 26 December at 12.10pm.
Jill Williamson, General Manager of Sedgefield Racecourse, said: “I am really looking forward to Boxing Day racing this year! We had an excellent atmosphere last year due to the wonderful attendees including several generations of families. The traditional family day out returned and I would love to see familiar faces alongside new customers this year”.
With over 1,500 advance tickets already sold for this event thanks to a recent social media promotion, it’s sure to be a sell out! Keep up to date with regular offers and promotions on the racecourses Facebook page.
Plus with the newly refurbished Centre Course Enclosure recently re-opened offering a Soup & Sandwich Package for only £15 for this race meeting, it is sure to make the perfect festive day out.
