During the whole of 2024 an intrepid group of seven photographers have been recording life at the racecourse in Beverley.
Sponsored by this magazine 'Just Beverley', and Dogger Bank Windfarm they have recorded life at the course during each race day but also at times when the course is busy with other events and improvements.
The final exhibition will be open to the public on Thursday and Friday 20th and 21st February 2025 between 10am and 4pm in the Paddock Bar at the racecourse.
The racecourse management have been extremely helpful in enabling this record to be made and the exhibition will be shown later in the year in Hull as well as in Beverley Treasure House early in 2026.
Photo Finish - an exhibition of photographs celebrating Beverley Racecourse The exhibition itself concentrates on three aspects of life at a racecourse including the course itself and the staff (mainly temporary) who make things happen and the events which are additional to the races such as weddings and fairs; the runners and riders without whom there would be no point and last, but not least, the booted and suited aficionados who come along to have a fun time.
The same group of photographers have previously produced HUman Impact which told the stories of a hundred people living in HU postcodes through the pandemic as well as Fish!! which considered the demise of Hull’s fishing industry in the 1970’s through the eyes of those who experienced it.
The group concentrates on Hull and East Yorkshire and the people and places that make it special.
