A racecourse that's kept it's rural identity, & not sold out to the big commercial bookmakers; this truly is a great day/evening out. Free entry (except on Boxing Day & Easter Sunday), good facilities, lots of space, great views The food is excellent quality, but is a litle pricey. & the queues are usually very long We use Towcester racecourse 3-4 times per year, taking our 10 year old son who always enjoys the excitement of it all Evening racing is especially good toward the end of the season (May/June) when we take a picnic which we always enjoy with many others in the extensive car park (field) This is a national hunt racecourse, so there's no racing in the summer months Massive investment has gone into the grandstand in recent years, & although I haven't yet made use of this impressive new facility, I understand the quality of what is available is 100%. Try to approach the racecourse from Brixworth/Stoke Bruene, as the A5 gets very congested NB I never win!!!!!! read more
