3. Fancy a flutter

4. Fabulous food – and you can even pack a picnic

Haydock is renowned for its great hospitality and fabulous dining experiences, with informal eating at the Kauto Star restaurant and Harry’s Bistro, and the chance to wine and dine in style with a panoramic view of the course from the Park Suite. And, if you want to celebrate the fact it’s summer and, hopefully, the sun is shining, you can even pack a picnic and throw your blanket down on the grassed area in front of the grandstands.

5. Getting there is a guaranteed cert

No matter where you’re heading from, getting there is easy. Set in parkland between Haydock, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Golborne and Newton-le-Willows, it’s only a mile from junction 23 of the M6, and just off the East Lancs (and parking is free!). If you’re going by train there’s a complimentary shuttle bus from Newton-le-Willows train station from two hours before the first race with return journeys after racing.
