So successful is Ladies’ Day in the summer that Redcar Racecourse hosts around glamorous occasion – a Ladies and Gents’ Evening.
Alongside the horse racing on Saturday (23 AUGUST), there are ‘best dressed’ competitions to enter, a fun casino, and free photo-booth.
As during Ladies’ Day, there are major prizes for the ‘best dressed’ race-goers. The judges mingle with the crowds, so everyone is in with a chance of winning.
- The ‘best dressed lady’ receives a Swarovski pendant and earrings from Market Cross Jewellers, a bespoke fascinator/hat from Chic Hats and a cut & blow dry voucher and gift pack from Orange Kerr Hair & Beauty.
- The ‘best dressed gent’ wins a £400 men’s suit, shirt and tie from Middlesbrough’s Bakers Tailoring and a Oakley sunglasses from Market Cross Jewellers.
- The ‘best dressed couple’ get a Ladies’ Boss watch and perfume and Gent’s Boss watch and cufflinks from Market Cross Jewellers, plus a photo shoot, 25 images on disk and a A4 print from Eastwood Photography.
Judging of the competitions will take place after the third, fourth and fifth races.
Redcar Racecourse’s general manager Amy Fair said: “We have wonderful prizes which have been kindly and generously donated by local shops and businesses. It gives a great incentive for all our visitors to dress to impress so that they can be in with a chance of winning.”
The racecourse’s website (www.redcarracing.co.uk) offers the convenience of online purchasing of tickets for all racing days. There is also a guide to where to eat and drink at the racecourse – and discount vouchers can be downloaded.
Redcar’s ‘Course Enclosure’ – which offers a café, bar and picnic area – costs just £5 for adults and £4 for students and pensioners on Saturday. The Grandstand Enclosure is £15 admission (£12 students and pensioners). There are also value-for-money admission packages on offer. Accompanied children aged under 18 are admitted free of charge.
Racing is between 5.30pm and 8pm, with admission gates open at 3pm. Racing from the afternoon meetings at York, Newmarket and Goodwood will be shown, with the Tote accepting bets.
