Sedgefield racecourse is preparing for its final race meeting of the season before returning with its annual Ladies Evening event in late August.
Sedgefield Racecourse will be taking a break for the racing season after hosting its JG Paxton’s raceday on Tuesday, May 12 before returning with its most glamorous race evening of the year, sponsored by Roflow Ltd.
The annual raceday, which gets started at 12.15pm and will include seven races, is sponsored by JG Paxton’s, a family-owned agricultural machinery dealership which has served farmers since 1853.
The company also supply the racecourse with equipment needed to maintain the track and grounds and this is the fifth year that JG Paxton’s has supported the last raceday of the season.
Jill Williamson, executive director at Sedgefield Racecourse, said: “JG Paxton’s regularly support the racecourse – they even have their own stand at the racecourse and their agricultural support is vital over the spring season. Having purchased a new tractor from the Durham branch of JG Paxtons the grounds team are especially grateful of the company support they receive throughout the year.”
“Although this is the last race before the summer season, there are plenty of events taking place to keep everybody entertained. The team are gearing up for the annual two day Game and Country Fair in July, to include pet competitions, clay pigeon shooting, climbing walls and much more and an August bank holiday Truck Show. Both are set to be great occasions for all of the family to enjoy.”
Grandstand and Paddock admission tickets can be purchased for Tuesday 12th May for £13 when booked in advance. For further package information or to book tickets call 01740 621925 or visit www.sedgefield-racecourse.co.uk
