“We want everyone in the Doncaster area to be able to experience the thrilling action and vibrant social scene at this famous racecourse and this annual event has proved to be hugely popular in previous years,” said Abby Chandler Head of Marketing Doncaster Racecourse. “It’s great to see people enjoying our hospitality and allows us to give a little something back to the local community of Doncaster.”
