JUNE
Platinum Jubilee Community Festival
James Bay Live After Racing Grand Stand Road, Worcester, WR1 3EH. BRIT Award winning singer/songwriter – JAMES BAY – is pleased to announce a special appearance at Worcester Racecourse this Summer. Within a short six years since his debut, we’ve already seen many sides of James Bay... There was the GRAMMY® Award-nominated troubadour with dusty acoustic anthems of heartbreak on 2014’s Chaos and the Calm. This evolved into losing the hat and leaning into a much louder sound for 2018’s Electric Light and finally mixing the two sounds together on 2019’s Oh My Messy Mind EP. Make your Saturday extra special! Join us at Worcester Racecourse to experience the thrill of watching live horse racing as thundering hooves fly past you heading towards the finish! Then enjoy a LIVE performance from BRIT award winning singer James Bay! The perfect excuse to get family and friends together to enjoy a fantastic day of racing and live music. Tickets are priced at: £35.00 Advance STBF – Adult (General Admission) £25.00 Advance STBF – Children under 18’s (Under 5’s free admission) Parking – £5
