TODAY'S race meeting at Chepstow has been abandoned after 25mm of rain overnight left the course waterlogged.

The Big Top family entertainment will go ahead and as a gesture of goodwill is free of charge.

All customers who have pre-booked can have a refund or transfer to another fixture. Please call the racecourse office on 01291 622260 to organise this.

The entertainment in the Big Top will go-ahead from 12.30pm as originally planned and there will be free admission on a first come, first served basis. Mister Maker will be onstage at around 3pm.

Another Family Fun Day will take place on Monday 27th August when we have Kids TV stars - Andy Day and the Chuckle Brothers.
