Race Night 2013

When:              Friday July 5th 2013  7pm

Where:            Bar 27, St Mary Street, Bridgwater

We're back upstairs at Bar 27 this July for another evening of great entertainment and excitment with the sport of kings on the big screen.

Again we will have the 'two Steves' to expertly conduct proceedings and ensure everything is above board, running smoothly and a good time being had by all.

Tickets are just £5 which includes food!

For those not familiar with a race night, it offers the chance of a light-hearted flutter on randomly chosen pre-recorded horse races.

Before each race clip is chosen, the horses are auctioned off, giving the more adventurous punters a chance to own a runner and hopefully scoop the prize winnings, plus the glory. The higher the bids in each race, the bigger the race prize fund - and £ raised for charity of course.

But non-owners can also cash in by having a flutter on any horse name that takes their fancy.

And talking of horse names... from just £30 each race sponsor can choose the names to appear in the program for their chosen race - we still have a few races available.
