FREE RACE TICKETS FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THEIR FAMILIES AT CATTERICK  

Following on from their Racing Reminiscence Day, Catterick Racecourse have announced the plans for the first of their popular August Family Days for 2023.  

The first of the days this year will be the Salute Our Heroes Family Day on Tuesday 8 August in support of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity. The first race will go off at 2.50pm and the last at 5.45pm, leaving plenty of time for racegoers to enjoy the activities at the course.  

Emma Stevenson, General Commercial Manager said: “It’s great to be working with ABF The Soldiers’ Charity again this year to give something back to our community. We always look forward to welcoming the next generation of racegoers to our family days – it’s a great way for the whole family to enjoy some time together!” 

The younger fans can enjoy a huge range of free activities such as a bungee run and bouncy castles. There will also be chances to win a trip to Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park, using the clues in the treasure hunt.  

Catterick Racecourse will also offer complimentary admission to this fixture for all military personnel and their families. Military tickets can be collected from the Catterick Garrison Headquarters or from the Racecourse Office. 

Later on in the month the racecourse will hold their Family Sports Day on Monday 21 August. This will include the first race of the day being an Egg & Spoon race, due off around an hour before the racing starts.  

Alongside the racing there will also be a range of activities on offer again, including 9-hole crazy golf course and penalty shoot-out!  

As with all of Catterick’s fixtures, accompanied under 18’s are admitted free of charge, and a complimentary shuttle bus service will run between Richmond Market Place and the racecourse, starting one hour prior to the first race. 

Tickets for both fixtures, starting at just £5 per adult, are available to purchase online at www.catterickbridge.co.uk, over the phone by calling the racecourse office on 01748 811478 and at the gates on the day, while group and advanced booking discounts are available up until 48 hours prior to each race day.
