Sedgefield Racecourse will be celebrating 90 years as a limited company on Thursday 4th May. The year has already seen some great investments in to the racecourse in aid of its 90th anniversary including the new Bistro Café 1927, an increase in prize money and the ongoing refurbishment of the new winner’s suite.
Jill Williamson, Executive Director of Sedgefield Racecourse said; “The impact of this investment is proving extremely popular within the local economy. We are now able to employ more local’s into the business as well as providing a much needed retail offering within the course on racedays and car boot days at cost effective prices. I am really looking forward to making further use of the facilities in the summer once racing finishes instead of closing the facilities.”
