BRIGG FOLK CAN ENJOY A FREE DAY AT MARKET RASEN RACES NEXT WEEK


Everyone in Lincolnshire is being invited to a free day at the races at Market Rasen Racecourse next week. And Brigg being within easy driving distance, there will be many takers from our town.
All that residents of the county have to do for the track’s fixture on Tuesday 4th February is produce a utility bill, or similar, at the entrances – and they will get free admission to the Tattersalls Enclosure.
Pip Kirkby, General Manager, of Market Rasen Racecourse, said: “The offer covers all postcodes in the county, so it’s a great day for sports fans to enjoy a very affordable afternoon out. The racecourse already offers free admission at most meetings to under 18s accompanied by an adult; the only exceptions being the ‘Rasen Rocks’ music nights in the summer.  A report late last year from business analysts Deloitte highlighted why horse racing remains the second most popular spectator sport in Britain – and value for money was a big part of that, especially the free admission for children.”
The first race of seven on 4th February is scheduled for 1.20pm.  Gates open two hours before.
On-the-day adult prices: Family Enclosure £7.50; Tattersalls £14 (Lincolnshire residents free of charge on production of proof of residence); County Enclosure £19.
Tickets for all racing fixtures at Market Rasen Racecourse can be bought in advance online at www.marketrasenraces.co.uk or on 0844 579 3009.  Savings of up to 25% are available on advance purchases.
Sales have already begin for the opening ‘Rasen Rocks 2014’ concert with Wet Wet Wet after racing on Saturday 16th August.  Tickets start at just £23 for adults and £8 for children (aged 5 to 17 years).  Children’s tickets are limited in number (200 per enclosure), so early purchase is advisable - there is a maximum of four children’s tickets per paying adult.
