FROM MARKET RASEN RACECOURSE
It’s all systems go this Sunday for Market Rasen Racecourse’s grand celebration of everything that is great about the Lincolnshire town following the resumption of horse racing in Britain.
The sport was halted last week after an outbreak of equine influenza, but racing is re-starting across the country on Wednesday.
‘Love Market Rasen’ Raceday, which is backed by Market Rasen Town Council and West Lindsey District Council, will rejoice in all that is wonderful about the local community. Visitors will be able to enjoy a range of activities and entertainment facilitated by local businesses, services and community groups whilst taking in the excitement and thrills of a day at the races.
There will be a large exhibition marking the rich history of Market Rasen town, MiniKicks football, golf lessons by professionals from Market Rasen golf course, a comprehensive agricultural machinery display to be enjoyed by the whole family, a pop-up market and a demonstration by West Wolds U3A (University of the Third Age).
Schools are also getting involved in the big day. Market Rasen Primary School Literature and De Aston School Art Competition Finals will take place.
