Stena Line jockey for new horse racing package
Now that Cheltenham has whetted the appetite of horse racing enthusiasts across Northern Ireland, leading ferry company Stena Line has launched a day-trip programme to the famous Ayr Races – starting off with the Scottish Grand National weekend on Friday April 11 and Saturday April 12.
Ideal for corporate days out and racing fans alike, the day trips to Scotland’s premier racecourse run until December with prices from only £27 per person, including return ferry travel on the luxurious Stena HSS between Belfast and Stranraer, coach transfers to and from the course and admission to the Grandstand enclosure.
Admission to the Club enclosure costs a little extra with prices starting at just £32 per person, allowing punters access to the Western House Members Club House facilities, restaurant and bar.
Stena Line’s Head of Marketing Paul Grant said: “We’re betting that our race day packages to Ayr Racecourse are going to be a winner with Ulster racing fans and companies looking for a fun corporate day out.
“Our hassle-free race day packages offer horse-racing fans a wide range of weekday and weekend meetings throughout the spring, summer and autumn. The 100,000 horsepower
Stena HSS, the world’s largest smoothest fast ferry, will whisk you across the Irish Sea in only 105 minutes with plenty to do on-board. Then, after a fun day at the racecourse, you’ll be back on the home-straight before you know it,” he added.
