Newcastle Falcons and Newcastle Racecourse are coming together once again to provide a full weekend of elite sport in one exciting bundle – saving you a fantastic 20% when you book!
On Friday 25th November Newcastle Falcons take on Exeter Chiefs in the latest instalment of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby competition, kicking off at Kingston Park at 7.45pm.
Then, the following afternoon of Saturday 26th November, Newcastle Racecourse hosts one of the most prestigious hurdle races in the horse racing calendar- the Betfair Fighting Fifth – where a selection of the finest hurdlers in the world compete for an historic prize.
Those purchasing the bundle will receive 20% off the events, with prices starting from £36.00.
Semore Kurdi, CEO of Newcastle Rugby Ltd said: “We saw some great success with this partnership last year and it’s something we’re looking to do more of going forward.
“The North-East has a lot to offer live sports fans and we’re keen to make that as accessible as possible for our current supporters and those looking for things to do in the run up to the festive season, as well as anyone visiting the region.”
In addition to offering the bundle, the venues will work with Newcastle City Council, Newcastle Gateshead Initiative (NGI) and NE1 to deliver a host of additional information for people attending the two events including restaurant and bar recommendations, hotel offers and other activities taking place over the weekend, including this year’s Christmas markets due to launch on Saturday 19th November.
Paul Elliott, Executive Director of Newcastle Racecourse, said: “It’s great to link up with Newcastle Falcons for another year running and offer people the chance to experience watching rugby and horseracing over one weekend. As well as a great offer for our regular customers, we hope to build on the weekend to attract other audiences looking for fun things to do in Newcastle ahead of the festive season and bring more people to the North-East.”
The packages will also be sold as part of NGI’s New Adventures campaign which brings together a whole host of different experiences available across Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland.
