Racegoer Packages Fixture Highlights
You will find information for all of our 2020 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!
The Premier Enclosure, Restaurants and Hospitality Suites will all sell out
on these days so we advise you book early to avoid disappointment.
