| Perth Racecourse |
Perth |
2013
|
|
| Perth’s racing season, which runs from April to September, boasts a full calendar of racing events in 2013.
It is well known that Perth Racecourse likes to mix racing with additional entertainment and the programme of 2013 certainly proves that the two go hand in hand.
With additional entertainment such as fashion shows, live music, funfair rides and falconry to name but a few, Perth Racecourse offers something for everyone.
A day at Perth Races is as much about a sociable day out as trying to back a winner. With its dynamic and varied programme of fixtures, Perth Racecourse illustrates its reputation as an innovative racecourse.
