A Day At The Races
Allow Galloping To Give explain some of the inner workings of the sport of kings and demystify a day at the races.
Horse racing has many layers, which can for a first timer be confusing and overwhelming. You want to feel knowledgeable, but you are not sure how to attain it. From understanding how to read a racecard to explaining the betting (Why is 9/2 a better price than 11/4?) to having a racing personality talk you through the runners on your raceday, we have it covered!
Each booking is so individual, and prices vary for different racedays at different courses however an average group size is 15 people which would cost approximately £195 per person.
Galloping To Give can easily arrange your day at the races – whatever your occasion – at any of the following courses:
Ascot
Kempton
Newbury
Newmarket
Sandown
Warwick
Windsor
A typical race day package is as follows, but we can, of course, tailor it to suit your requirements:
- A hospitality box with a private balcony.
- Premier enclosure entry with leading views of the racecourse.
- A gorgeous two course, seated lunch with half a bottle of wine per person.
- Tea, coffee and chocolates, with drinks service to your table.
