Dress

Smart casual is the tone of the day. We have a sheltered area to relax in, however the side of the racecourse is unprotected from the elements, so hats are a good call, as are comfortable shoes.

Food and drink

There will be fresh crayfish and whitebait on the menu, alongside a range of incredible food the team will be serving up throughout the day. A full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will keep you refreshed and relaxed.

Entertainment

Our private area in the Meridian Marquee is right beside the Tote, so you’ll have easy access to play bets. 

For those that wish to join, we will also be hosting a cash raffle, prizes TBA. All proceeds go to Cholmondeley Children’s Home, so it's a great cause to support.
