A day out at the Boxing Day races

Wincanton

Voted Racecourse of the Year in 2005, Wincanton racecourse is an ideal Boxing Day race venue. A multi-million pound refurbishment has transformed it into one of the West Country’s best racecourses and its countryside setting sets the scene for a Christmas flutter.

Wolverhampton’s first race is due off at 2:35pm on Boxing Day, so there is plenty of time for a decent lunch beforehand. The Ringside restaurant, on the ground floor is offering a three course roast lunch and a gourmet three course menu is being served at The Zongalero, the tiered restaurant on the third floor. Tables include TV monitors and the restaurant boasts panoramic views of the whole racetrack. Executive boxes are also available, all with private balconies looking out over the finishing straight.

High class racing action and plenty of festive fun will be enjoyed at Huntingdon Racecourse on Boxing Day. A line-up of racing and entertainment will guarantee a great day out for both seasoned and first-time race goers. Whilst adults can enjoy a competitive six-race card of excellent jumps action and various trade stands, bars and restaurants, children can enjoy inflatable rides and sweets courtesy of Hugo the Hound, Huntingdon’s very own mascot. A Playstation 2 is also up for grabs in the festive children’s quiz.
