Whilst we sit and wait to hear what the future holds for the return of crowds to racecourses, we are not standing still! When racegoers return, they will be delighted to see phase one of the Main Grandstand project is well underway. In a multi-phase project to transform the existing main grandstand into a thoroughly modern venue, phase one is due to complete in April and will offer a larger, much-improved space on the ground floor, known as the Rapid Lad bar. Glazing to the full length of the stand will allow a bright and airy atmosphere that will bring the action closer to the facilities. In addition, new seating and balustrades are being installed on the main terraces and a new access point to link the main grandstand to the existing Touch Above stand, allowing for a fine viewing experience. The phase one investment stands at £650,000 and local tradesmen are being utilised to bring the project to life.
