BOXING Day racing promises to offer “something for everyone” at a North-East racecourse.

Due to a record number of sales this year for Sedgefield Racecourse’s annual fixture, extra facilities have been added for Wednesday, December 26.

The traditional family gathering offers free admission for children under the age of 18 as well as seven live races on the card.

Emma White, general manager, said: “Boxing Day is the highlight of our calendar, and although we have now sold out of hospitality, admission and food packages are still available to purchase.”

In order to accommodate demand, the racecourse team have bumped up the number of food outlets and have even hired in extra toilets.

“It is my first Boxing Day as general manager at Sedgefield and I’m really looking forward to it.”

She added: “The whole team goes all out to make it a fabulous day for all who attend.

“What better way to carry on the family festivities?

“Fresh air, the thrill of racing and an exceptional friendly atmosphere.”

The King George VI racing action will also be aired on the big screen throughout.
