Exeter Racecourse will be staging its very own beer festival on Tuesday evening with Otter Brewery providing local ales on tap at its race meeting.

Otter Amber, Otter Bright, Otter Ale and Otter head will all be available in a marquee on the lawn where a television showing the races and betting facilities, will add to the atmosphere.

The beer celebrations are all part of the racecourse’s first ever Rugby at the Races evening which honours Exeter’s Chiefs Neil Clark during his testimonial year.

Clarke, as well as his team mates and back up staff  from Sandy Park, will all be at the races enjoying an evening of racing, beer and mingling with their fans.

The first of the six races is off at 5.35pm. Pre-booked tickets for groups of 10 or more cost just £10. For more information visit www.exeter-racecourse.co.uk.
