The six piece live band, The Fabba Girls, will be bringing a sing-a-long to Pontefract Races, playing all of Abba's hits.

And if that wasn't enough, there will also be the Pennine Brewery, Revolutions Brewing Co, Ossett Brewery and Bier Huis visiting for the annual Beer Festival - AND, of course, six horse races.

The evening will be racing money for the Injured Jockeys Fund through Jack Berry's Red Shirt Night - a red shirt it optional, as organisers say that all is needed for the event is the party spirit!

THEN, on Sunday, July 28, the Lookalike Legends Family Day will be held, with the first race being at 2pm.
