Andoversford Races
Sunday, April 5
Andoversford Races is the county's leading Point-to-Point fixture, where the steeplechasers and jockeys of tomorrow learn their trade in an eclectic pop-up racing event.
Offering £5,000 in prize money, Andoversford is the premier fixture of its genre in the UK calendar, featuring the Robert Hitchins Group Andoversford Grand Annual Chase, a race that stretches back further than racing at Prestbury Park.
Spectators can expect a full-blooded countryside experience with pony racing, a tent-pegging tournament, dog agility, parade of hounds and loads of shops and stalls.
Or indulge yourself with Sunday lunch in a trackside restaurant catered by the award-winning Seven Tuns at Chedworth.
