With summer just around the corner, the next big dates for horse racing are soon approaching.

Each racecourse has a unique and special setting, providing a unique experience of racing and music.
With the anticipation of a fun-filled day and night of spectating, drinking, and dancing, many people are booking up local accommodation so that they can make the most of their time at the races, and not have to worry about getting home!
