BOXING DAY AT THE RACES

From Sian Williams, Senior Commercial Executive, Market Rasen Racecourse

Tickets for the most popular horse racing day of the year at Market Rasen Racecourse are going on sale - and we know some Brigg folk who swear by attending the festive meeting.
Every year, well over 10,000 people spend Boxing Day afternoon at the races at Lincolnshire's only racecourse.
For many, the day out at the racecourse is as much about Christmas as turkey and mince pies.
Savings can be made by booking in advance. The tickets are also popular Christmas presents for that horse racing fan in your life.
The County Enclosure is £20 when purchased in advance (£22 on the day); Tattersalls is £15 (£16); and the Family Enclosure is £9 (£10). Premier tickets are a one-price £27 - and they sell out first.
For visitors wishing to make an extra special day of it - and again these packages are popular as presents - the Brocklesby Suite is £84.50 (it always sells out), while a Fish & Fizz package is £37, County package is £30 and Tattersalls package is £23.
Fish & Fizz package: County Enclosure admission; raceday programme; glass of Champagne; seafood platter or hot dish of the day; and dessert.
County package: County Enclosure admission; raceday programme; dish of the day; pint of beer or lager / glass of wine; and £2 discounted tote betting voucher.
Tattersalls package: Tattersalls Enclosure admission; raceday programme; dish of the day; pint of beer or lager / glass of wine; and £2 discounted tote betting voucher.
Tickets for the event can be bought online at www.marketrasenraces.co.uk, by telephone on 08445 793009 or at the racecourse in person.
