BBC’s Sarah to open Warwick Family Race Day

Midlands Today presenter Sarah Falkland will be celebrity guest at the Warwick Family Race Day on August Bank Holiday Monday.

Sarah, who is Ambassador of the Leamington charity Cord, will be mingling with race goers at what is traditionally the course’s busiest meeting of the racing calendar.

She will be keeping a keen eye on riders and runners in the special Cord race and encouraging punters to support the charity’s work with young refugees from Darfur.

‘I’m really looking forward to a great day out,’ said Sarah. ‘As well as the racing there will be plenty of entertainment to keep the children amused off track, so I hope families from across the region will come along, maybe have a flutter, and support what is a very worthwhile cause.’

Free attractions for children include a circus workshop, face painting, Derby Hoppers, the Big Red Bus as well as a bouncy castle, boxing ring and giant slide.

The first race on Monday 31 August is at 2pm and special Family Experience tickets at £20 give two adults entrance to the main enclosure plus free access for children 16 and under. Free ice cream for up to 6 children is also part of the deal! To book your package or reduced price individual tickets at just £7 call the Cord ticket hotline on 01926 315301 by Friday 28 August.
