UPTON Warren's Manor Hill House is under starter's orders to host a special racing-themed charity event.

The wedding and conference venue will raise money for Midland Air Ambulance and the Primrose Hospice on the day of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

People are invited to enjoy all of the excitement of a day at the races on Friday, March 17, including multiple big screens and expert racing pundits to give their hot tips.

To celebrate St Patrick's Day the chef has also created a menu showcasing traditional Irish themed dishes.

Guest speakers in the day include Inkberrow trainer Tom Gretton, pundit and betting analyst Ryan Tongue, former champion amateur jockey David Crosse and top young point-to-point rider John Smith-Maxwell.

Visitors will also have the chance to win a luxury hamper.

Anyone interested in supporting the charities can also donate a raffle or auction prize or sponsor a race.
