• Walkers and British Horseracing have teamed up to offer consumers a great deal on half price tickets to the races!
We all know how important it is to find a great day out that doesn’t break the bank, that’s why this summer British Horseracing has partnered with Walkers, the UK’s No. 1 crisp brand, to offer consumers a half price day out that they won’t forget whilst saving £££’s!
Gary’s Great Trips, named after the popular face of Walkers and frequent racegoer Gary Lineker, is the latest promotion from Walkers, offering genuine value to shoppers through a range of discounted offers. With a similar mechanic to the hugely successful Brit Trips initiative from last year, customers collect on pack points in exchange for discounts on thousands of trips around Britain. The majority of Britain’s sixty racecourses have signed up a whole host of racedays to the offer, ranging from family fun and music to fashion and social specialities. Customers can sip champagne at Ascot and cheer on the crowds at Doncaster, all the while taking in the exhilarating atmosphere that a day at the races has to offer.
In a special initiative for the single crisp pack shopper they will have the exclusive option to use their points to bid for ‘VIP Trips’, which include a VIP day at the infamous Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood racing festivals.
There is no spectacle anywhere in professional sport to match the thundering hooves and raw power of thoroughbred horses charging up the finishing straight or flying over fences. Add to this the spine-tingling excitement of cheering a winner home, and you really do have one of the truly great sporting experiences, not to mention one of Gary’s Great Trips! If the social scene has more appeal, why not enjoy a picnic with a difference in some of the country’s greatest settings, or dress to impress during a stylish day out among world-class facilities.
Shoppers can collect points across all formats of Walkers crisps – from single bags through to the largest multipacks with at least £1 worth of savings with every single pack. What’s more, Walkers will also be launching a limited-edition promotional 6-pack which will run throughout the campaign and feature three new flavours – Roast Beef & ‘Horseracing’, Sour Cream & ‘Drive’ and Man-‘Go Karting’ Chutney.
With just 5 points you can get a half price horseracing ticket, so get involved in this great offer. Simply log on to www.walkers.co.uk to register and start collecting your points! For more information on British horseracing, go to stage.britishhorseracing.com.
