IRELAND AND RACING - IT'S ALL HAPPENING AT SANDOWN PARK
18/04/2010
Esher becomes the Emerald-Isle for one special day in June, when Sandown Park Racecourse hosts its annual totepool Irish Day of racing on Saturday 12th June with entertainment from Irish dancers, live music and plenty of flowing Guinness. As great racing days go, this day takes a lot of beating – the only decision you need to make is to head to Sandown Park for an experience not to be missed!
There will be live music after racing from a tribute version of one of Irelands best-loved exports – U2, which is sure to bring about a jig or two from the punters and throughout the afternoon, Irish Seas of the black stuff will be on tap at the famous Guinness trailer.
Irish Dancers will welcome racegoers to the course with performances from the group ‘Ceolsha Dance’ whose careers incorporate the most successful stage shows in history; Michael Flatley’s Lord of The Dance and Riverdance. Performances will commence from midday when doors open.
Turn up in emerald green clothing* and £5 will be taken off your on the day entry price to the Grandstand enclosure. Advance ticket prices are £20 for Grandstand and £25 for Premier and in addition the Summer Sizzler advance package offers great value for money including a £10 food/drink voucher, tote bet and racecard, at just £35 for Grandstand and £40 for Premier.
