Fixture Highlights
                You will find information for all of our 2015 fixtures within this brochure, and while
                every day at Wetherby Racecourse provides an exciting day out, we believe some
                of our fixtures offer that little bit extra. The highlights in Wetherby’s fixture list come
                late in the calendar year, but they are well worth waiting for!
                Whilst we try to make sure that badges and tickets are available on the day, these
                meetings are extremely popular and occasionally the Premier Enclosure is a sell
                out so we would advise booking in advance to avoid disappointment…
