The gates open at 12.00pm on Wednesday 30 August and racegoers will be keen to arrive early as the first 100 people to visit the Yorkshire Dales Distillery stand will be treated to a complimentary Strawberry & Thai Basil cocktail served with either tonic or lemonade.

The first race, the Dave Watson Memorial / EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes gets under starters orders at 2.10pm, while the feature race, the Yorkshire Dales Distillery Handicap Stakes is scheduled for 3.10pm. The last race on the card is the Holiday at Home Classified Stakes at 4.45pm.

Amongst the racing action, racegoers can enjoy live music performed by singer-songwriter Elena Larkin and fashion enthusiasts will have the opportunity to showcase their style and elegance in the highly anticipated fashion competitions. Whether it’s the Best Dressed Lady or the Best Hat competition, participants will have the chance to win some fabulous prizes!

Firstly, the Best Dressed Lady on the day will win a satchel and purse from Berber Leather, worth £165, plus a £100 voucher for their shop in Richmond, in addition to a £150 voucher from Holiday at Home to use towards a stay at Brompton Lakes, where they will receive a Yorkshire Hamper and bottle of fizz on arrival.

The winner of the Best Dressed Lady competition will also go on to represent Catterick at the Go Racing in Yorkshire Best Dressed Final, which will take place online via a public vote following the final Yorkshire Ladies’ Day at Doncaster Racecourse in September.

Kindly sponsored by Fascination by Cherished, the lady wearing the Best Hat on the day will receive a £200 voucher for hat hire from Fascination by Cherished in Ripon.

Emma Stevenson, General Commercial Manager said: “The style stakes are always high when it comes to Ladies’ Day; we’re very grateful to our sponsors for offering some wonderful prizes and are looking forward to seeing the fashions this year!”

In addition to the fashion competitions, there will also be a chance for racegoers to win a pair of tickets to a raceday of their choice at Catterick Racecourse by entering the prize draw on raceday-ready.com.

With the meeting falling in the last week of the school holidays, it’s worth noting that there will be free children’s entertainment in the Course Enclosure during the afternoon to ensure a fun-filled afternoon for everyone – and remember accompanied under 18’s race free at all of Catterick’s fixtures!

For those looking to make a day of it, there are limited tables available on the popular restaurant package. Alternatively, afternoon tea is available in the Paddock Café for just £34 including your hospitality admission and table reservation.

In partnership with CGC Event Caterers, the racecourse is offering racegoers 50% off quarter bottles of Prosecco when pre-ordered alongside admission tickets. Adult tickets start at just £5 for the Course Enclosure, or £15 for the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure when booked at least 48 hours in advance of the raceday.

Tickets are available online at catterickbridge.co.uk or over the phone by calling the racecourse office on 01748 811478 and will also be available at the gates on the day.

There is a free shuttle bus which brings racegoers to the racecourse from Richmond Market Place. The bus leaves approximately one hour before the first race and will return after the last race.
