The Week At Worcester

It’s a busy week at the Racecourse with five days of conferencing in the Grandstand and the Stanworth Fun Fair who have moved into the centre of the course.  The fair will be open to the public from today until the 17th March, so if you are in Worcester, do come down and enjoy the fun!

Preparations for the new racing season are also in full swing. The track has been rolled and slit to allow airflow under the surface, and also harrowed to lift any dead grass. The turf is currently enjoying the light rain prior to being fertilised.  With just a few days to go to the start of the Cheltenham Festival, we will be keen to watch those horses who enjoyed success at Worcester last season take their chance at National Hunt’s pinnacle meeting.  For everyone who enjoys visiting Cheltenham next week, or indeed watches the action on the television, don’t forget to book your tickets for Worcester this summer.  There are 21 fixtures to choose from, starting with the evening meeting on Tuesday 30th April.
