Visitors can look forward to a tail-wagging day out like no other at Southwell Racecourse’s Dog Friendly Raceday. The racecourse will be opening its gates to four-legged friends and their humans for a fun-filled raceday designed to delight both pets and people. Whether attending with a playful pup or a seasoned show-dog, guests will have the chance to enjoy live horse racing in a dog-friendly atmosphere.
The event promises a relaxed, inclusive experience, perfect for dog lovers seeking a unique way to spend a day at the races.
The day will be packed with paw-some entertainment and interactive activities for dogs to enjoy. Fun games and competitions will take place, including the ever-popular “Best Turned Out Dog” contest—so owners are encouraged to bring their pups looking their best.
Additional dog-friendly activities will be announced soon, but visitors can look forward to treats and special surprises throughout the day. From agility games to photo opportunities, it will be the perfect outing for both pets and their people.
