Market Rasen among country’s top 10 racecourse day out destinations
Market Rasen ranks as Britain's top 10 best day-out racecourse destination, with one of the highest percentage of five-star Google reviews.
Plumpton in East Sussex ranks top with Berkshire’s Ascot ranks second, followed by Pontefract in West Yorkshire, both located within walking distance of the nearest train station.
Epsom Downs in Surrey and Southwell in Nottinghamshire round out the top five racecourses for a day out with Market Rasen coming in at ninth.
The research, conducted by horse racing betting experts at BetGoodwin, analysed all racecourses in Great Britain to determine which venues are the best for a day out.
The study ranked horse racing courses based on three factors: share of five-star Google reviews, walking distance from the nearest train station, and the price of the cheapest adult ticket.
Each factor was scored out of 10, and racecourses were ranked based on overall score out of 30.
Visitors to Market Rasen can expect some of the cheapest admission tickets at £10.
Paul Colley from BetGoodwin said: “A great day out doesn’t have to mean a big spend or a difficult journey.
“The ranking shows that the top venues get the basics right: an easy walk from the station, fair pricing and visitors who leave happy.
“With tickets at courses like Pontefract and Redcar starting from just £6, a day at the races can be far more affordable than many people expect.”
