Senior Open and Epsom Downs join forces

Fans of golf, horse racing and live music will have a unique opportunity to indulge their passions through the ‘Three for One’ promotion run jointly by The Senior Open Championship and Epsom Downs Racecourse.

Epsom Live!

For just £40, customers can enjoy a day watching Senior Tour stars such as former Open Champions Tom Watson and Sandy Lyle at the 25th edition of The Senior Open Championship, played at Walton Heath Golf Club from July 21-24, and gain admission to any one of the five ‘Epsom Live!’ events held at the nearby racecourse in June and July.

The ‘Epsom Live!’ experience combines top quality horse racing over the Derby course with concerts from world famous bands such as Texas (June 30), Beach Boys (July 7), Scouting for Girls (July 14), The Wanted (July 21) and Blondie (July 28).

The performance by The Wanted coincides with the opening day of the Senior Open Championship, meaning that spectators can follow the fortunes of former Ryder Cup Captain Bernhard Langer as he bids to successfully defend his Senior title, and then make the short journey to Epsom Downs Racecourse to catch the racing before rounding the evening off with the concert.

Andy Stubbs, Managing Director of the European Senior Tour, said: “The Three for One promotion is the perfect package for all golf, horse racing and music lovers. To get the opportunity to watch some of the golfing greats in action at the Senior Open Championship and enjoy an evening of horse racing and music at Epsom Downs is too good an opportunity to miss.”

Rupert Trevelyan, Managing Director for Epsom Downs Racecourse, commented: “We are thrilled with the link-up between Epsom Downs Racecourse and The Senior Open Championship, and believe it is a great partnership across the two sports. The ticket price offers great value for anyone who is hoping to attend both events.”
