Greyhound racing takes place virtually every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the year. We also race on some Bank Holidays and Boxing Day. We recommend that you telephone us to check our racing calendar near to the time of your visit. (Race nights may change during the Christmas period. Please ask for our Christmas pack as separate tariffs/menus apply.) We offer a wide range of facilities to cater for every need and to suit every pocket. Parking is available free of charge and entrance to the Stadium normally costs £4 per person, inclusive of race card. Admission gains you entry to our luxurious Grandstand, all parts of which are accessible by wheelchair. Here you may choose between the licensed ground floor Conservatory Bar and its adjacent fast food section, or our track side Central Lounge on the first floor with its licensed bar and food counter serving pot meals and snacks. Tote facilities (minimum stake 50p for a forecast, £1 for a win or place) and closed circuit TV screens are available in each area. There is direct access to the arena from both floors enabling you to view the racing from outside if you wish. Children are welcome provided they are accompanied at all times by a responsible adult and do not enter the licensed bar areas. (Children under 14 are admitted free of charge, all others pay the full entrance price.) Our Eurosuite Restaurant, situated on the first floor overlooking the arena, offers a different menu for each race day. On Saturday nights, for example, the standard tariff for a three-course meal and coffee is £17.50 per person (plus £4 entrance charge making £21.50 in total). There is normally a choice of three or four dishes per course including at least one vegetarian option — see sample menu overleaf. Pre-booking is usually essential and a non-refundable deposit of £5 per person is required to secure your booking. Tables are mostly for six people and cannot be joined together although adjacent tables will be booked for parties. There are one or two tables for four, seven or eight people. A courtesy Tote messenger service is provided so that you may place bets from your table. (Not everyone has an absolutely direct line of vision of the racing from a sitting position but, with three exceptions, tables provide an acceptable view of the track. The three "slightly restricted view" tables have CCTVs nearby.) From time to time we offer special deals in the restaurant — at time of writing, for example, 6 people may book a three course meal on a Saturday at £18.50 per person (excluding coffee but including entrance) or sample our special "no-frills" Balti Bonanza on a Thursday night for £50 per table (including entrance). Both offers subject to availability and to be fully prepaid —ask for details if not enclosed). Three Executive Suites are also available. These rooms offer excellent views of the racing and are ideal for a private party or corporate entertaining. A special inclusive price of £500 covers hire of a room plus admission, race card, a cold buffet and dessert for 32 people. Food will be served to you in your room and you may either pre-order wine or purchase drinks direct from one of the nearby bars. A tote operator will be situated adjacent to or in the room. For groups of less than 32, the price is reduced by £10 per head to a minimum inclusive price of £300 while additional covers, subject to room size, are charged at £15 per head. A non-refundable deposit of £100 per room is required with the balance payable 2 weeks before the event. (A hot buffet may be available in the Director’s Suite — maximum 35 people.) See overleaf for menu choices. Our Six Pack Party Deal is a special offer for groups of 10 people or more and gives great value. Please ask for details if not enclosed. As an extra benefit, we allocate you a table in a bar or adjacent room where possible. Please note this is not a restaurant offer and you are required to collect your food from the ground floor Fast Food counter. On Thursdays and Saturdays the Stadium opens at 6.30 p.m., bars are available from 6.45 p.m., the Eurosuite opens at 7 p.m. and the first race begins at 7.35 p.m. We request diners to be seated by 8 p.m. at the latest unless special arrangements have been made in advance.

OWNING A GREYHOUND

RACING GREYHOUNDS

Imagine the excitement of seeing your dog enter the arena, the sense of anticipation as the traps fly open, the nail-biting tension as it flies round the bends…..and the thrill when it is first over the winning line!

If this appeals to you and you would like to find out more about owning a racing greyhound — perhaps as a syndicate with a group of friends - contact one of our trainers listed below. Many will have runners in training which they have bought to sell to new or current owners and will be pleased to let you visit their kennels and have a chat. Our Racing Manager will also be happy to give advice on buying a greyhound.

RETIRED GREYHOUNDS

EX-RACERS MAKE WONDERFUL PETS!

Most greyhounds are gentle, loving, adaptable and submissive creatures who not only love human company but also get on well with other domestic pets. Contrary to many people’s misconceptions, they

Need only two 20 minute walks per day
Behave well on a lead
Are particularly good with both children and the elderly
Are happy with normal dog food
Are still in their prime when they retire from racing (usually 2-5 years old)

While some owners of racing greyhounds take them into their own homes on retirement or arrange for them to live out their days in kennels, we are always very keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in offering a home to our ex-racers.
