Ladies' Evening

Huntingdon Racecourse has great prizes to be won at 2018's Ladies' Evening, 22nd May 2018

Ladies' Evenings are one of the great success stories of the horse racing industry, helping to boost attendances for Britain's second most popular spectator sport.

The traditional social occasion at the races in Cambridgeshire is on Tuesday, 22nd May at Huntingdon Racecourse.

It's an evening when thousands of ladies get out their finery and join their partners or friends, combining good company, great food and wine, and a little flutter on the horses. Gentlemen can dress up too - and there's live jazz and blues music as well from the Vintage Swing Cartel.

It's not just a battle on the track but also in the fashion stakes. There is the opportunity to enter the Style Awards for Best Dressed Lady, with prizes including a KIA Sportage for the weekend, a one-night Marriott hotel stay, a Virgin balloon flight, three bottles of Champagne, a Hotel Chocolat hamper and a bouquet of flowers,

All in all, the popular Ladies' Evening promises to be the most glamorous raceday of the season.

Liam Johnson, General Manager of Huntingdon Racecourse, said:

"Ladies' Evening at Huntingdon Racecourse is a great tradition in Cambridgeshire when thousands of visitors take the chance to dress to impress. There are great prizes to be won by the most stylish ladies, plus live music to enjoy too."

There is still a chance to take advantage of an early bird admission offer, the ‘Fizz For Four' package which includes: four tickets; two race-card vouchers; and one bottle of Prosecco - all for £70 and only available to book in advance.
