Armed Forces Heroes – 27th June


There has been great excitement at the racecourse this week as it has been announced that more than 250 members of the Grenadier Guards and The Queen’s Royal Hussars (including marching bands) will parade through the city centre on Wednesday 27th June, ahead of the national Armed Forces Day on 30th June.  This will followed by an afternoon of racing at Pitchcroft with FREE entry to EVERYONE in the Centre Course enclosure (complimentary tickets can be obtained at the turnstiles on the day).  In addition to seven national hunt races, attractions at the Racecourse will include fundraising and a charity race for Help For Heroes, war horses and military vehicle displays, army recruiting stand and military music.  A race day not to be missed!
