We have teamed up with Cartmel Racecourse, which has put together a competition package for this month’s big concert raceday.

The amazing prize includes two VIP tickets, a drinks inclusive three-course lunch in the Louis Roederer restaurant - and the chance to meet Sophie in person.

Fran Horne, racecourse operations manager, said: “Thousands of people will enjoy a day of great racing and music for our annual concert meeting. The combination of action on the racecourse, music from Sir Cliff and a support slot from Sophie has proven to be an irresistible combination “Tickets which grant access to the course for a full day of racing action plus the concerts are just £45 which represents huge value for money.

“A great day is on the cards for everyone - but the prize package we have put together will make June 28 very special for two lucky race and concert goers.”

Cartmel Racecourse stages National Hunt (jump) racing. There are six remaining fixtures in the Cartmel racing calendar, running through the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Racecourse guests can luxuriate in the Louis Roederer restaurant.

Located on the first floor of the Grandstand (within the Paddock enclosure), the restaurant has a new look for 2019. With its own private viewing balcony, this restaurant boasts panoramic views of the racecourse, finishing line and parade ring.

For the 2019 race season, the racecourse has announced an exciting new collaboration with Rogan & Co, Simon Rogan’s Cartmel-based Michelin-starred neighbourhood restaurant.

Rogan & Co at Cartmel Races will be launched as an exclusive new venue for the 2019 racing season. It will combine the culinary excellence of Rogan & Co with the first trackside hospitality offering at the Racecourse, taking the form of a stylish glass-fronted marquee and garden terrace overlooking the famous finishing straight.
