Dunstall Park Stadium has unveiled grand plans to celebrate National Greyhound Week this month with a bumper programme of family friendly trackside fun.
The Wolverhampton venue will kick-off the fourth annual celebration of the greyhound by handing out 200 free admission tickets to its Saturday evening fixture on August 29, where 12 live races are scheduled from 6.20pm.
Racegoers will be treated to children’s entertainment and have the opportunity to meet retired greyhounds based in the midlands searching for their forever home. A one-off 20 per cent discount in the track’s Horizons Restaurant will also apply on the night.
The track will also operate a dedicated Owners Night after National Greyhound Week has taken place to thank those who invest in the sport with trophy presentations organised for each race.
Chris Black, General Manager at Dunstall Park Stadium, plans for the fixture to draw hundreds of new racegoers trackside.
“National Greyhound Week has been a great way for tracks across the UK to showcase our sport and celebrate everything greyhound related since its launch three years ago,” said Chris.
“Saturday race nights are a real highlight on our calendar, and we have plenty of family friendly fun planned and a chance for racegoers to get up close and personal to the stars of the track with 12 live races too.
"Without owners, our operation simply wouldn't be possible so we're looking forward to our dedicated Owners Night after National Greyhound Week has taken place, as well as welcoming a big crowd to our Saturday fixture on August 29 by launching 200 free tickets which are available on a first come, first served, basis.
“Greyhound racing is a fantastic family and cost friendly evening out, with the greyhounds themselves at the heart of everything we do. For anyone yet to experience the thrill of the chase, National Greyhound Week is the perfect opportunity.”
