Wincanton RacecourseIt's only three weeks till Christmas and Wincanton Racecourse has every aspect covered...

Friday, December 16th is the chance to celebrate Christmas with a shared party. Priced at £39.95 per person, the Paddock Pavilion will be transformed into a winter wonderland where guests will be treated to a mulled wine reception and three-course meal with a live band. So dust off your dancing shoes and grab that sparkly little number and put some Strictly Coming Dancing moves into action...

Monday, December 26th sees Wincanton host its festive Boxing Day fixture that traditionally attracts over 12,000 race goers. It's the perfect place to work off the excesses of the previous day with six competitive races to punt on.

The demand for hospitality packages is once again exceeding expectation, with limited seating available in the Paddock Pavilion and Kingwell Restaurant.

  • The Pavilion provides the ideal base for the whole family throughout the day, offering complimentary tea or coffee in the morning, followed by a two-course buffet lunch and light afternoon tea for £70. Book immediately on 01963 32344.
  • A scrumptious 3-course meal with afternoon tea is available in the Kingwell Restaurant for £90 per person, providing unrivalled and exclusive balcony viewing of the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure. All packages include Premier Enclosure badges.

Steve Parlett, Wincanton Racecourse's General Manager says:

"This season we've truly embraced the festive season and are offering our customers a variety of deals. Following last year's snow, our 2011 Boxing Day meeting is proving to be hugely popular with strong advance sales, which is impressive in this current climate. We very much hope our customers enjoy our 2 for 1 Champion Hurdle Trial Race Day offer which is one of our premier fixtures and leads to Cheltenham."
