West Berkshire & North Hampshire

Newbury Racecourse and Royal County of Berkshire Show have teamed up to create the “Best of Newbury Package”.

The Royal County of Berkshire Show and the Dubai Duty Free Day, organised by the Newbury Racecourse, clashed on dates and so organisers decided they would work together to create this fantastic weekend of events in the sporting and rural calendar.

The package includes premier entry to Newbury Races on Dubai Duty Free Day on Saturday 17 September followed by entry to the Berkshire Show on Sunday 18 September all for just £35 per person. The package offers you fantastic value for money, especially for families, saving you £6 per person and under-18s go free to Newbury Racecourse and it’s just £7 for 5 to 16 year olds for the Royal County of Berkshire Show.

Stephen Higgins, Joint Managing Director, Newbury Racecourse, said “We are delighted to have teamed up with the Royal County of Berkshire Show.  Newbury and its surroundings is a fantastic area to visit and, by combining these two days into a ticket package, we are offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy a Great British day at the races combined with a fantastic day at one of the Country’s biggest agricultural and county shows.”

Dubai Duty Free Day at Newbury Racecourse features seven quality Flat races. Visitors will also be able to take part in the interactive sports zone, featuring Laser Archery and Shooting, Rowing and Cycling machines. Gates Open at 11am and the first race is at 1.25pm.
 
The Royal County of Berkshire Show runs from 17th to 18th September. Visitors can see the UK’s best cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry and in the main ring displays include the daredevil stunt riders ‘The Devil’s Horsemen’ and The Band of The Brigade of Gurkhas. There will also be around 600 trade stands and a Food Fayre.

Becky Elvin, Showground Manager, said ”This combined offer gives both locals and visitors from outside the area the opportunity to enjoy a great weekend in Newbury.  The show has a huge amount of entertainment for all the family and when you add this to a great day at the races visitors will have a weekend to remember.”
