There are a few different packages available for Easter Saturday at Musselburgh Racecourse but they all add up to a great day out.
For families there is added entertainment with a dedicated Kids Zone on the Linkfield Lawn for children of all ages. Fun fair rides, face painting and game stalls are on offer with the Easter Bunny paying a visit handing out chocolate eggs. There will also be an Easter Egg hunt.
Pic shows the winner of the Musselburgh Gold Cup, Lady Kashaan ridden by Shane Gray and trained by Alan Swinbank who drew clear in the final furlong to win comfortably.
Raceday packages include the Gourmet Pie & Pint at £40 including admission and race programme. The pie from artisan supplier, Pie Not accompanied by a pint of your favourite beer could be just what you need to pick a winner.
The Aberdeen Angus Burger and Beer package is the same price with a burger from Well Hung and Tender with beer wine or a soft drink. But if you are looking for something sparkly then there is the Pommery Pop Package which includes a 200 mll glass of champagne.
All the packages and tickets are here.
Aisling Johnston, marketing manager, Musselburgh Racecourse, commented: “The inaugural Easter Saturday raceday was a huge success last year and we’re excited for this year’s event which is set to be a real highlight of the racing calendar once again
“As well as exhilarating racing and a number of food and drink outlets, we’ve expanded the offering to include a wide range of family attractions to keep the whole family entertained and create an altogether different holiday weekend experience that is just as fun for adults as it is the children. After all, it’s our Easter break too!”
Easter Saturday’s Queen’s Cup was launched in 2017 following Her Majesty’s longstanding relationship with Musselburgh Racecourse. Having opened the Queen’s Stand back in 1995, Her Majesty returned in 2016 on the racecourse’s 200th anniversary to present the specially commissioned Bi-Centenary Cup.
