If
your thinking of something to do for the weekend that has something for
everyone from fine wine and food and a generally good ‘craic’ing
atmosphere, then look no further as just off the A3, Sandown Park
Racecourse gates are open to welcome you into a weekend of Irish
‘mania’!
An
Irish themed weekend of racing is to take place at Sandown Park
Racecourse on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th June.
So if you fancy a weekend of watching top racing with first class flat
horses, top flat jockeys, getting top tips from an Irish panel of racing
experts, listening to the racing from an experienced Irish commentator,
eating traditional Irish food, have the chance of winning a fantastic
weekend away in a Relais & Chateaux hotel in Ireland and have a day of
guaranteed fun and entertainment, then you should book your tickets for
this weekend now.
In
addition to the fantastic flat racing on offer there will be a host of
entertainment on the course. The famous Guinness trailer will be
providing plenty of the original ‘black stuff’, there will be an Irish
theme in each of the restaurants with speciality dishes such as Beef &
Guinness sausages served with Champ, Irish Shepherd’s Pie, Blackwater
Smoked Salmon and a delicious board of Irish Cheeses being served to all
the racegoers. After the last race of the day on Saturday, racegoers
should make their way to Esher Hall where a live Irish Band called
‘Father Ted’s’ will be playing.
Jerry Kilby, Managing Director of Sandown Park said, “Sandown Park
provides the perfect venue for an enjoyable weekend out. The Irish
Weekend always proves to be an extremely popular race meeting at the
racecourse and with so much entertainment on offer, in addition to the
exciting racing, we are expecting a tremendous atmosphere to accompany
the competitive racing!”
Gates will open at approximately midday for both days and selected bars
will be open 2 hours after the last race.
