Join the family fun with Hull FC stars at Beverley Racecourse
Wed 24th May 2017
Racegoers will have the chance to meet Hull FC first-team stars at an afternoon of racing at Beverley Racecourse next week.
The racecourse has teamed up with the Challenge Cup winners during the spring half-term break with a host of activities and competitions to keep the whole family entertained.
In addition to an exciting afternoon of racing on Wednesday, May 31, families can take part in a host of fun activities including inflatable sumo suits, giant Zorb balls, and funfair rides.
Fans of both horseracing and rugby can also take a selfie with the Challenge Cup and try for a prize in Hull FC’s popular “Boot It” kicking competition!
Sally Iggulden, Chief Executive of Beverley Racecourse, said: “Our afternoon race meeting on Wednesday, May 31, will be a really great family friendly day where racegoers can meet the Hull FC squad and take selfies with the Challenge Cup as well as lots of other fun activities we’ve got lined up.”
Racegoers will be offered discounted tickets to enjoy top-class rugby as Hull FC take on the Wigan Warriors at the KCOM stadium on Saturday, June 3, including the half-time mascot match – a big family-favourite. Youngsters can also take a ride on ponies dressed up as race horses in Hull’s West Park before the big game as part of the club’s annual family fan zone, with rides, activities and games.
Visitors to the popular racecourse can also sample celebrity chef Colin McGurran’s signature dish and enjoy some of the best views of the course in The Attraction restaurant.
