Cocklebarrow Races: The Thrill of the Chase

A Day at the Races: Experience the Excitement

Cocklebarrow Races, set to take place on the 21st of January 2024, is the pinnacle event in the Heythrop country's steeplechase calendar. This annual fixture is not just a race; it's a celebration of Point-to-Point racing excellence in the Three Counties, drawing enthusiasts and families for a day of exhilarating competition and fun.

A Unique Blend of Racing and Entertainment

The event offers a perfect blend of sporting excitement and family entertainment. Positioned in a large heated marquee, spectators can enjoy a prime view of the races, ensuring comfort and a great vantage point. The day is packed with activities beyond the races themselves, including the Tough Farmer Challenge, terrier racing, and an array of shops, offering something for everyone.

The Perfect Antidote to Winter Blues

Held in the heart of the countryside, Cocklebarrow Races is an ideal way to shake off the January blues. It's a day filled with excitement, competition, and socialising, providing a vibrant atmosphere for family and friends alike.

A Cosy Retreat Inside the Marquee

The family picnic marquee, a central feature of the event, offers a warm and snug retreat. It's a space where the colder it gets outside, the more inviting it becomes inside. This heated haven provides a perfect spot for those wishing to enjoy the races in comfort.

More Than Just a Race

Cocklebarrow Races is the perfect follow-up to the Festival trial at Cheltenham, just 20 miles up the road. The Heythrop has skillfully turned the challenging end-of-January slot into an advantage, creating a racing event that combines the social aspects of Point-to-Point with the excitement of top-class competition.

Embrace the Tradition: Car-Boot Picnics and More
