Tickets for race days at Chelmsford City Racecourse go on sale from midday today.

General admission tickets for all race days at the Great Leighs-based racecourse until March cost £15 and feature days, including February 1, cost £20.

Prices for the two restaurants at the racecourse begin at £54 for the next two fixtures.

There are only a limited number of tickets available for the next two race days as work continues towards the first official public fixture on February 1.

Phil Siers, the racecourse’s managing director, said: “We’re thrilled to announce that tickets and restauarant bookings are on sale.

“We have had thousands of enquiries, particularly from the local area, so we are very keen to offer more people the opportunity to visit the UK’s newest racecourse.

“Sunday 1st February remains the first official public fixture, but we will be selling a limited number of tickets for our next two test meetings.”

Chelmsford City Racecourse held its first fixture in almost six years last Sunday, when a specially invited audience of 800 people enjoyed seven races on the all-weather circuit.
