Worcester Racecourse

It was a beautiful morning out on Pitchcroft today, with the racecourse under a blanket of mist..... January isn't so bad after all!

Even racehorses have that one friend who can't resist a photobomb opportunity 😂

We had a fab day for ladies day 10 lady's ... I was pleased to see more facilities than last year less queues for the loos ...it certainly was as lively as ever but add it all together horse racing beer and people unwinding ....not a place if u want calm ....choose another venue ! We were dissapointed that take that experience didn't show up !!

We had 2 runners yesterday and the care for the horses there was fantastic the only track we’ve been to where there are staff to help cool them down straight after the race and the ground was brilliant. Well done Worcester

One of the most underrated courses in the country. Excellent viewing and despite it being what must have been their busiest day of the year, no problem in being served in the bar and a minimal wait for ladies loos. However,the best thing of all is the staff. From the parking stewards right through to Management, everyone has a smile, is well organised and do their best to make your day at the races as enjoyable as possible -Thank you!

I love beautiful Worcester racecourse it's one of my favourite racecourses I love the amazing horseracing so much forever I love going to the amazing horseracing at beautiful Worcester racecourse I always have a fantastic day at the amazing horseracing at beautiful Worcester racecourse Worcester racecourse is so very special to me fantastic view of the amazing horseracing at beautiful Worcester racecourse 🏇🏇

I love Worcester Racecourse you can get to the pre parade and parade rings really easily. If you don't like punters who bet, drink a lot and don't know much about horses don't go on Ladies Day or Family Days as those are just days out for fun! Unless you can keep away from them. There are usually queues to get onto and off the course so be patient. The course take great care of the horses and jockeys which to me is the main thing. Stable staff get a BTO for most of the races which is great not sure the food in the stable staff canteen is as good as that in O&T though xx

We went to the races today as we had a horse running in first race as were in a syndicate lively hospitality made most welcome only thing was they had football on big screen and other screen they kept it on through first race so couldn’t see horse run if we wanted to watch football would have stopped home and watched it come to watching racing not football

Went to the racecourse in 2013&2015 and loved it, it was very relaxing, however a large party of us went on Saturday (2nd June) and we were very disappointed!! The fact they’ve reduced the drink you can take in yet charge £35 a bottle of prosecco is a joke!! We had a big balloon taken off us due to it being “a fire hazard”!! My 65 year old father was told to put his shirt back on, even thou it was boiling, we were told by security staff that we couldn’t have put picnic in one of the marquees that we were sat in, then we were told we could but we couldn’t use the tables, then we could but we’re told we’d bought too much food in, yet they couldn’t tell us what the allowance on food was!!! (Because there wasn’t one)!! It seemed the security were not aware of what was and wasn’t allowed!! We definitely won’t be returning!!

My parents took my grandmother there yesterday (80 years old). They sat in front of 2 men and 2 women. The men were being openly racist to my step dad. 1 of them poured a drink over my grandmothers head which saw her knocked to the ground in the ensuing melee. What an entirely different level of scum. If anyone thinks they have any photos which may be useful in identifying them, please share.

DISGUSTING that horses are having to race on the hottest day if the year. Yet we are told not to walk dogs in this weather. Shameful and cruel.
