A campaign to drive footfall at greyhound tracks across the UK this month has been launched by Arena Racing Company and four of its stadia.
The UK’s largest racecourse operator is running a Back On Track initiative through October where racegoers can take advantage of 25% off all admission and hospitality packages at fixtures this month.
The offer applies to all general admission, trackside packages and restaurant bookings which are made online with a view to engaging people local to each venue, and regular racegoers.
Feature fixtures which form part of the offer include the £20,000 Premier Greyhound Racing Kent Derby at Central Park on Saturday, October 18.
The offer extends to Nottingham’s Saturday evening fixtures too, which will run for the remainder of 2025 where general admission has been slashed to £6 and restaurant bookings – which include a three-course meal, admission and a race card – are available for £24.75 per person. Sunderland will operate the offer on Friday evenings.
As an extension, Newcastle and Sunderland Stadiums will host their own dedicated Halloween themed race nights at the end of the month.
David Evans, Regional General Manager at Arena Racing Company, said: “It’s a busy month across the group, with a number of themed race nights and prestigious competitions taking place.
“Our Back On Track initiative aims to engage those living in communities surrounding each of our venues, plus regular and casual racegoers.
“Restaurant packages in particular represent incredible value, with three-course meals and admission now starting at just £18.70 on Fridays in Sunderland – making it the north-east’s best-value night out.
“We hope to welcome strong numbers to our two Category One events this month too, which historically have been won by some of UK greyhound racing’s most recognisable names.
“Although the nights are drawing in, and temperatures are dropping in the evenings – there’s no excuse. Get yourself trackside and help us celebrate the sport we all love.”
Racegoers can claim 25% off general admission, trackside packages and restaurant reservations by booking online via each track’s website. Arena Racing Company’s Back On Track initiative runs until Friday, October 31, and will run at Central Park, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sunderland Stadiums.
