A unique feature of Cartmel Racecourse is the ability to bring your own picnics and BBQs. Our relaxed, festival atmosphere is often cited by racegoers as the thing that stands out the most when they come to a meet. Whether it’s a huge get-together around a picnic table, or just a bottle of wine to share for the race, it’s always been a distinctive aspect. Nothing beats an exciting race with all your friends!
Would you like your day out to help those in the area that are most in need?
This August, we’ve partnered with local food banks to ensure that no one in our local area goes hungry. If you have any unopened and non-perishable food and drink once the festivities finish, simply leave it at one of our drop-off points. You’ll be helping a local family put food on the table, on top of which you don’t have to carry it home!
If you have extra food to donate, simply leave it with us at the end of the raceday, and we’ll make sure it reaches our food bank partners. Our reach may be international, but we are also a proudly local business, and care about our community.
Our local food banks do incredible work to ensure that everyone has what they need, because times are hard for many people, and no one deserves to go hungry.
