Entertainment: 

Meet Radio Murphy! During an interval before the greyhound racing begins, Radio Murphy will take to the stage to perform in The Ringside Suite. Radio Murphy are a good-time up-tempo band that perform Irish Folk music, sure to keep the energy before the night concludes with the greyhounds! Expect well-known tunes from Johnny Cash, The Dubliners and more crowd-pleasing music to enjoy after horse racing.

Alongside Radio Murphy, there will be a DJ playing from 2pm throughout the horse racing, so you can enjoy classic hits whilst watching thrilling live sport.

 

We can’t wait to share a momentous day of racing with you at Wolverhampton. 

See you on Saturday!
