Music Nights at Racecourses – April–June 2019

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.20.1″]

Racecourses make fabulous venues for pop concerts – with or without racing first!

Much-loved music acts often tour round the racecourses each summer, and you can enjoy tribute bands, mass karaoke and some alternative musical nights out as well.

Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment as these events often sell out in advance. (Also check out the Ladies Days listings as a few of those include live music as well!)
