Greyhound Racing Group Weekend

These pups aren’t your granny’s poodle. Greyhounds are top-notch athletes, the races are held in the evenings, and the environment is more casual than what you’ll find at a horse race.

Start your night by knocking back a pint and placing a bet or two. Then grab a tight hold of the rail—or the nearest beautiful someone—and cheer your dog through the home stretch. You can get right down to the track, or watch the high-speed action in style and comfort from one of the restaurants. Or if you’re feeling lucky, why not spring for the premium experience? Your group can come up with a cheeky name for the race and present the triumphant pup with a winner’s trophy. Make sure to have a look at the racing form before you’ve had too many tall ones, though—place the right bet, and you just might win big.
